My attempt at light on my Corvette

[Vmax]

Here's my newly finished Corvette body. I got tires of waiting for HPI's light kit to hit the street, so I went to the local electronics store and made my own.

I just made a L-shaped bracket out of Lexan and covered it in aluminum foil, drilled holes in it and mounted the LED's.

How do you wire somthing up like that? does it use a seperate battery?

yeah rcneon makes pritty bright lights that will work but the only way i think to make them from shooting from bottem of body is to make a L-shaped bracket out of Lexan and cover it in aluminum foil like vmax sad

Yup, the foil helps a lot! I was worried about having light "bleed" through as well. Once I mounted the lights, I taped another piece of foil behind them to be safe.

And Yes, the lights run off the regular battery. I used the third Channel on my receiver to power them, since it has a regulated 6 volts. But it could be done just as easily using the pack voltage.
