Basically i have a Deaf friend who is racing a 1/2 scale NASCAR. Our problem is we have no radio contact for obvious reasons, so we came up with an idea of a RC light switch. So i can inform him if someone is trying to pass on his left or right. We put together a simple system with receivers and relays, etc. but i want to build a PCB with everything integrated, and downsize the controller, with push buttons instead of an analog stick. Problem is I'm new to all of this, never played with radios before. I wondering if you have any ideas on receiver/transmitter chips. Currently have 2 LED units in the car, running of 1 channel. would maybe later like to add another channel for more lights. Any information would be much appreciated. thank you.

use the search function and search for "RC Switch" This will give you possible options to allow you to use a standard RC transmitter and receiver to turn the LEDs on and off.
