For my use of a RC product in a none RC way I took some rc4wd LEDs and put them in my wife's 4runner. The back light bulbs are known to blow. And being around $15 and a 2 hour round trip for them. I figure I was a wise choose to put the LEDS in. They were a little tricky to get in with the resistors but a little solder work and they were in the holders. They light the dash up nicely.
The LEDS are the ones lust to the left and right of the white connector
Another use I have found for RC products is as driver organizer.(And I hoping his summer to use it for some loose allen wrenches.) You take a stock axial plastic link and drill holes in and slip your drivers in. In my case I have my Lockedup drivers in them.
