Default DIY RC stuff

Has anyone made something for their RC car or pit equipment that they would like to share with rest of us?? Something that you could not buy elsewhere, or was too expensive, or just wanted to make so you could say that you made it yourself.
Here is an example of something that I made because the original was too expensive and I needed it to do more than one job. This is a tyre warmer voltage controller (controls tyre temp) that allows me to put anywhere from 4v to 12v into the tyre warmers. It also can run the Johson 540 motor on my Team Cobra lathe and can vary the speed if need be. And it can also alllow me to run in my stock motor. Here is a pic of the first and second efforts.
It can be anything practical, not just electrical.
