TRX4M Ford Bronco Upgrade

I upgraded my TRX4M Bronco.
I converted it to 2x18650 LiIon batteries.
Sony/Murata 30A VTC6 3000mAh (SONY US18650VTC6 30A !)
I printed out new battery holders.
A hard pin was used from the 18650 battery holder.
I converted the motor unit to an AC motor.
Furitek Lizard Pro + Komodo engine. I have the original left
lighting TRX-4M Bronco Pro Scale Light Set Traxxas TRA9783.
So I also made lighting control using a processor
ESP32C3 + driver program in Arduino IDE.
The original lighting can be controlled using the Adafruit Neopixel library.
Now the lighting works like this.
I use ESC Forward/Break/Reverse mode

- daily lighting
- turn signals
- brake
- reverse
- and I used the LED in the bumper as lighting for turns.
(I had to separate the original LEDs so that they were each separate).
- flashing LED effect after the car is idle for approx. 30 seconds

In the lighting electronics, I used NPN transistors to switch the LEDs.
The transistors are up to 1A collector current.
These outputs can also be used for other lighting or a motor fan.
Lighting has two other inputs, channel 3 and channel 4.
I used channel 3 for the brightness of the LED in the front bumper and channel 4 for turning it off
LED in the front bumper.
I also made a flashing effect when the car does not move for 30 seconds.
It depends on everyone how to program the processor.
If anyone is interested in my program, just send a request and I will send it to them.
You can then adjust it according to your needs.
Must have programming experience in Arduino IDE.
Adjustments have also been made to fix the shock absorbers for larger tilt deviations.
