Just because I could:














And how well does it perform?








Rather well. I had started spraying the orange housings black using my left over tamiya acrylics (from the body shell I did back along), but I kinda ran out, so there is still some orange showing through- I'll touch it up at a later date if I can be buggered.

I used a couple faulty head torches I got from work- they are ment to have 3 different lighting modes, but the button or chip is busted so all 3 leds and the mini- bulb stay on regardless. I soldered some leads to the battery contacts inside and then paralleled them together onto an Rx lead that then plugs into a vacant slot on the Rx for ~6v of power. They are designed to run from 3AAA batteries for 3.6-4.5v of power, but they actually run fine on 9v, but to save having to find a home for one of those somewhere on the chassis, the Rx seemed like the ideal solution to provide plenty of voltage for brightness without pushing the limits of what the Leds and mini-bulb could stand.

Will be doing some evening driving fairly soon, as the weather has stayed dry and not too cold of late- snow would be nice though, I envy some of you guys.
