There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Removing the mirrors is pretty easy. Scary to just quickly pull up on them to un-snap them from the body but that is in fact how you do it.

The bottom front snap can be a pain to get snapped back on. I had to do it a few times to get it to snap.
You will see in the first video Lamonster had a little problem getting it snapped back on too.
Now to feed the wire you have to take off the top and bottom front panels of the mirror and unscrew the light bulb fixture (4 screws). It's not as hard as it looks but prying with a screw driver to un-snap them might scare a few people! I was a little leery to do it but just went for it. Once you have the bulb unit out, you will see the pass-through hole under it. Plenty of clearance for a wire.

Only comment is breaking off the snap tabs that look like 1/2 arrow heads. I had no issue with them breaking while taking it apart. However when you go to snap it back together, MAKE SURE you have all of them aligned in the slots before trying to snap one in place! This I think is what breaks them. I almost made that mistake and almost broke one off because I missed getting one aligned.
Needless to say, if you ever burn out a light in one, you will need to do this take apart anyway or spend more bucks to have ti serviced.
Now, you might be able to fish a string or something by playing around with it. I tried a little and gave up hoping to find the hole and getting it behind the mirror. You might get lucky.
Also here is a post talking about other ways to do it without taking them apart. But you do need to drill a hole. See page 2.

Isn't it great we're FINALLY getting some RT videos on here? 
Yes, and farkelosis is an addiction! Have added 23 things to my spyder since getting it last year and the addiction is still going strong!

Your videos are quite good. Voice quality is absolutely great. Easy to understand. Your delivery flows very well so that it keeps the viewer's attention. Your explanation is good (although I thought Video # 2 was better).
You ought to be in the tv or radio business. (or perhaps sales).
Please keep up the good work on your videos. Oh, I forgot to mention. The camera work is excellent. Very clear and you can see exactly what you are referrring to.
Again, please keep up the excellent work.

Thank you for the comment.
But I should let you know I am not inexperienced on doing videos like this. I don't try to do them all pro and like to keep it raw and real. People seem to like that style. But I have done over 1,000 RC Helicopter how-too videos over the last 3-4 years.
Again thanks for nice comments and I do plan to keep it up as I like doing them and helping people when I can.
