so when it came to the lights on the rear engione compartment , i was right , they all were burnt. soooooooooooooo, time to break out some new ones . i have rc4wds bruiser light kit here, perfect for what i need for running lights. i use 2 sets, 4 reds and 4 yellow, did some splicing. plugs right into the receiver , later i will add and on/off swith, the bumper lights are fine. ive also added a back up light top center lights, lights, and more lights lol! insane any way , while i had the radiator out , ive add some electric fans(fake)

today im going to show you how im making my search lights i start with a basic r/r light kit from china, it was about 11.00 usd whats nice about its 1/10 scale and it plugs right into your receiver or a 4.8 battery pack next i cut each light bucket from the main light bar, keeping the main bar as a part of the light bucket. next i cut a hollow round plastic tube for the neck, next i drilled a small hole in the tip of the tube and the light bucket , this will let the light buckets tilt next i ran small wiring through the rod and attached the light buckets with 2 micro screws

next i cut another sleeve that fits over light bucket pole but is smaller then the deck sleeve . will also attach the wire tip/plug next i flipped the deck upside down, yellow/black wires are the 4 search lights, the red/black with white tips are for extras light for boom later. the red/black wire with black tip is power for the lights the search light are up and working the boom lights are working also

Lookin' good there Joe, I thought we'd lost you for a while. It's an impressive model you've built there, I've enjoyed you build pics.
