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

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 04-24-2002 05:09 PM

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!!

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

Wow those are sweet. How exactly didyou do it?

Mykroe 04-25-2002 08:31 AM

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

Wedginator 04-25-2002 12:38 PM

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 04-25-2002 02:55 PM

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

Wedginator 04-25-2002 04:52 PM

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....

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

Wedginator 04-25-2002 10:38 PM

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 04-26-2002 03:59 PM

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 04-26-2002 11:27 PM

hey tinyrc admin,
did my LED lighting turn out good enough to add to the tips and mods section? :)

tinyrc 04-27-2002 07:41 PM
