i got this in trade from zippo a few months back and have been beating the snot outa it since.
nothing special really,T Maxx classic in the process of being converted to 3.3
i just bought a new 3.3 and got that broke in and i've got a big ol' box of 3.3 parts to put on it but i figured i'd leave the classic parts on for some carnage pics..

it took a bit of time,patience and creative thinking but it's custom and only cost me about $12 to put together.
imma sucker for details and realism so a 5mm housing poking out the front just wouldn't do.....so....i made some headlight buckets by heating plastic and pressing it into a 15mm socket with an 8ball marble.

6 5mm 1000mcd LEDs on top and two 10,000mcd on the fenders make up the brakelights.

this pic shows my first choice for brake lights but the LEDs were dimmer then the others so i swapped em for the 10k's

fully wired and ready to go.
i opted for three 3v batts for longevity,brightness and the fact that if i split the load i didn't have to bother with series configs and resistors.

one thing i liked about making the headlight buckets was finding out how well they dispursed the light like a 1:1 bucket.
i was kinda worried that all you would see was the diode....
now i get to pull it all back apart and start paint!! :D
i'm open to suggestions on the paint scheme if anyone has .02 they could spare.
my only requirement is that it includes black/silver and green.
cheers,
