Default I finally got some video.

They aren't the best, my digi cam is more for pictures and not for video.. the g/f was recording and this thing is a little too fast to try and track while taking video.. so I hope you don't mind the not so good quality.

I wasn't trying to be an expert driver in these videos, I was just bashing around and letting whatever happened, happen.



I got stuck at the end of this video, my neighbors need to mow their yard.


I love the part in this video where I come around the corner at a high rate of speed and the flip around and pull a tire up.. god that was fun.

And here's the installed setup:

Just some Tenergy 8.4v 4500 mAh NiMH, hoping to go Li-Po.. or just some quality NiMH's.. this motor draws quick and my batteries got so hot that the glue was running inside of the shrink wrap. O_o

And on a good note, the rest of my lights showed up today.. got them installed:


It's smiling at you.




Pretty good output for just the fog lights as I will call them.

Definitely happy with this. Can't wait to run it tonight and see how well they do.

Soooo.. I need to find a spot on the front for 4 more LED's.. the guy messed up and sent me another set, so I'm wanting to find a way to mount these up too.

Is it possible to have too much lighting? I might be getting close to accomplishing this.

I don't see any more room unless you wanna make it crowded? That many lights and you'll start to look like a Japanese van. How about some rock lights? It'll kinda look like neons. Kinda. Lol.

Awesome looking rig. The lights look pretty cool. Mayve you could also pick up a Pro Line light bar for ~$15 and put some up on the roof? I know you weren't keen on that in the beginning, but maybe since you have an extra set you could?

Cheers,
Kyle.

The guy I got the lights from has a light bar setup with LED's installed for $15.. I thought pretty hard about it but I am 100% sure I would break it first run.

I don't know if I actually will mount them, but I don't want un-used LED's just laying around.
