The Globe Called "Adamantium"

[maxtaz]

Thanks guys. Trucklover the process is really simple mate. I just made up a easy jig to lay the bumper in and hold it firm and basically drill 27 3mm holes with my drill press. The leds fit snug in the holes and only just stick out the front. The resistor really depends on how bright you want your lights to be, I didnt want them brighter than my head lights so ive added 1 resistor to an 8 light circuit. Theres 128 leds on this truck so theres a natural resistance there anyway for the leds, a resistor just gives you piece of mind that you're not going to melt any lights. Im powering all of the lights with a 7.2v 2000mah nimh battery and Ive made a loom that plugs into that battery that branches off to 5 separate looms powering micro switches for my whole system (if that makes sense?)

I dont really like tamiyas lighting unit I find it to restricting so I make my own. That way your ride has a unique you look to it.

I hope ive helped a little mate.

Max.
