Ziggy122 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hey Has any1 brought one of these?? R/C ELECTRIC CAR BRAKE LIGHTS, 4 RED LED SET And do they even work?? cause i would of thought that when brakes it comes on, at idle it goes off But when u press the accelerator, i would of thought it would activate them too?? or are they smarter then that?? i guess that they would plug into failsafe, which then the servo connects too the gadget and i take this runs off the cars power???

doom56 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 it conects between the reciver and the servo but can be done with the failsafe too but may be a power strain tho and not a fast responce ether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 just get 4 led's with a power switch to a 9v? Would that be better??? I dont think nickin power out of the acc/brake servo, cause failsafe moans as soon as they get to about 50% charge left... Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom56 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 tbh i would say dont bother at all as using a battery puts on waight to the car and using the y cable does not do the power rating any good so hope you know what i meant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCaveman Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) If you buy the number of leds you need, connect them to a 470 ohm resistor each then connect them to a power supply ie PP9 Battery via a micro switch, activated by your brake servo moving, youll get the same effect. Thats what I did and they work fine....I even decided to run a series of leds across the front of my hummer body just like knight rider and it looks pretty funky in the dark!! rofl Edited May 14, 2006 by CaptCaveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptCaveman Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) only three leds lit and moving all leds lit the back of the leds the pcb i built to get them to move (apologies for the poor quality but im an electrical engineer not a photographer ) Edited May 14, 2006 by CaptCaveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
