What liget setup have you used?

Any pics of how you have mounted the headlights?

[mick e]

I'll take some pics, and put them up tomorrow.

[myv8growler]

Excellent, thanks.

[forbs]

Does anyone know what size the wheel nuts are ? I lost one

[oodboo]

M4, get nylock ones if you can. There's loads on ebay but I bought some from B&Q once.

Here's some pics as promised. I just drilled two 3mm holes in the back and popped the lights in, the tape holds them in and stops light shining back under the truck. Front lights fit in the headlights, I just used silicone to hold them in place and again to stop the light shining back under the truck. Not very pretty but does the job. Power is from the battery, I used a Y cable from the steering servo with no bother.

Looks great, might try this on my lunchie

[mick e]

Got them on my Lunchbox aswell.

[myv8growler]

Awesome thanks.

What leds did you get, and what's the connecter called for the receiver plug?

[myv8growler]

Anyone got a spare lunchbox body?

condition not massively important as I will strip/sand and respray.

[mick e]

The led lights are Fastrax, the Y connector was from Modelsport.

[oodboo]

Just buy a load of pre-wired LEDs off ebay. Much cheaper than the kits if you use a lot of them. Dead easy to wire up yourself.

[myv8growler]

Sounds like a plan.

should arrive tomorrow or Monday

[Noj]

Hmmmmm......seem to have picked up a low ride MP this evening, whilst scouting a local rc shop/track...lucky me

[PraetoR]

... which brings the running total up to....?

[Noj]

As in, total number of rc's currently owned (regardless of boxed/running status)?

Honestly, I have no idea. At all. More have come than have gone though, which is/is not a good thing, depending on whether you are me, or the wife.

It's a hard life

[PraetoR]

Indeed. But let's look at it from just YOUR perspective at the moment, shall we?

 

I really need to see your collection sometime, though I bet most are unbuilt and/or boxed?

[Kristian2002]

What do you need to make lunchbox a low ride, hope to get some lights soon.

[PraetoR]

What do you need to change on the lunchbox to make a low ride

It's a completely different car, buddy. Just the same body shell.
