RE: Showing off - Custom Lighting
well I'm back in the states now, so it'll be a little harder to mod my car electronicallybecause the Rat Shak (radio Shack) bites. But on the other hand i found some nice opaque arrays in different colors I think I'll use for the tail lights instead of just the 12 LEDs. The arrays will look better because it will appear to be just a bar of light rather than the 3 points.
Oautmealman - thank you for the contructive criticism about the wing. I was just having fun, and I'm sorry it doesn't meet your high asthetic standards.
Creyc & T-MAN-iR - Nitro Cars are just that, they run on nitro so the have a carburator. A servo operates the carb and the breaks, so you can put a momentary switch on the break side so when you actuate the breaks it clicks the switch on too ie turning your lights on. To do this on an electric car ... so far the circut i think i'll need wil be an P-channel Mos-Fet connected to the motor leads for the Vgs (Gate to Source Voltage). The Vds (Drain Source Voltage) goes to my on off swith to my lighting. I think i need a P channel FET but i need to test my ESC outputs to the motor to be sure. Depending on how this circut turns out and if find a better ... less messy way to activate the headlights I might post pics and wiring schematics for those Electronically inclined. don't know yet so don't get your hopes up.
Hell$peed - What kind of pics do you want? I have no problem posting anything...well anything RC...well almost anything RC.
goodnight, it's time for me to sleep, and i'll check my ESC outputs tomorrow morning.
talk to yall later,
