Wedginator's going to be doing it again....

[Wedginator]

yes, maybe you guys probably guessed... LED lights.... on the Bit Char-G.... It's gonna be a challenge to fit those lights under that small body, but hey, LEDs are fun... i need a challenge... LOL...:D

[Hardtrukr]

I kinda thought about that, use one led for the front, and one for the back. Would be tricky making something to direct the light that way though.

[Wedginator]

there's a lack of room in the rear of my bit.... so i'm just putting it in the front... have you tried optic cables? They work great!!

[tinyrc]

Wedge - looking forward to the full report - maybe it could be out first Tips & Mods article if it comes out nicely!

[Wedginator]

ahhh..... here it is.... LED light modified Bit Char-G :D

[Wedginator]

another angle

[Wedginator]

my favourite angle...

[Wedginator]

here's the insides....

[Mykroe]

Wow those are sweet. How exactly didyou do it?

[Mykroe]

Oh yeah and can you turn the LED's off?

[Wedginator]

putting lights in the bit are a lot easier than putting them on the mini-z..... it's just a basic connection with a watch battery.... There's a small peice of plastic to slip in between the battery and the contacts to turn it off.... the bit is too small to include a switch....

[Hardtrukr]

Holy @#$^(*(*%@#%%&^^&$%^^*&(%##@#$%^&^%*&^#&%^*&^%. Wow. how does he do it.

[Wedginator]

the battery actually enhances the Bit's performance.... The extra weight gives the wheels more traction therefore the turning radius is tighter with the faster motors... and it has a bit more oversteer... unlike the mini-z sometimes more weight may have some understeer....

[Wedginator]

i'm gonna try to make my bit look like this soon..... just need the LEDs :D

[Wedginator]

imagine the possibilities to drive it at night.... LOL.... and it's multipurpose too...a flashlight and a tiny RC.... hehe....

Thats some nice LED'ing wed, What size LED's did you use?

This is interesting wed, how long were you thinking of doing this? its pretty cool.

[Wedginator]

thanks!!
i use the ordinary 3mm LEDs... i found out that they just fit nicely...

i actually think of LEDs when I get my "toys" :D such as how i'm gonna use it..... so basically, every RC toy i have, i have put some LEDs on it.... then there's some flashlights, traffic lights, etc.... :cool:

[Wedginator]
