hey guys, im going to the videos in steps, its going to take me a while to do. i hoping by this week i finish the lower half. im still not sure all was burnt in the melt down. i know i lost alease half the lights

[semijoe]

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
