Re: RC10T buggy thingy
Okay, couldn't wait for tomorrow night to mount the GoPro and finish the soldering on the esc.
The lights look good, but those tall shock towers make bigger shadows. I think if you were to go for functionality one would have to mount the lights in front of the towers.
Fun either way though

Re: RC10T buggy thingy
Looked pretty cool. I'm sure outside your house is like mine. Pitch Black!
It's unbelievable to me how dark it can get when there is no moon or stars out. Peaceful though.
Well, except for the high pitch scream of brushed electric r/c motors.
Did the lights help guide the way at all actually driving, or did they just look like floating lights? Cool either way.

Re: RC10T buggy thingy
I could see for the most part. There are street lights, although far apart they gave enough light. Also, between my outside house light and my light by the end of the driveway I had a fair view. BUT, it was cool anyway!

Re: RC10T buggy thingy
I found some cool natural sand dunes near where I'm working to take out the RC10/10T sandrail. A place called Wapiti Dunes, near Grande Prairie, Alberta.
I may of had more fun with the Tacoma, but only because the RC10 kept loosing power. I think it was over heating and the Novak Havoc kept automatically cutting out. I made the best of the afternoon and went wheeling

Looks awesome.
It'd be funny to see a video of you chasing your Tacoma down that hill if the parking brake let go.

My thought were to just let it go, I'm way to out of shape for that.

Re: RC10T buggy thingy
What wheels did you use in this pic? I think I might copy your original build idea.
