Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2004Buggy lights
Has anybody ever put headlights on a buggy? I'm not talking the $65 version that you can get online (or the $20 if you look really hard) I'm thinking the homeade style that would look like a real dune buggy (you know how they have the light bar on top?...). I'm interested in setting up my RC10 for night driving:-) and would like to know what others have done! Thanks! M. PS - just to avoid confussion, I don't have a problem with the online purchased style lights, I'm just interested in building it myself. > Has anybody ever put headlights on a buggy?

What happens when you crash flipping it end over end for 15 feet? > What happens when you crash flipping it end over end for 15 feet? Having done that just last night, I'm not sure but I'd probably fix what broke just like anything else on the car. This would be more for backyard bashing then racing so I could keep the 15' flips to a minimum :-) >Has anybody ever put headlights on a buggy?

Yes... I have used "metal fence" end caps (cast aluminum I think) for the lamp housings, and two 12V 20W halogens with lamp sockets. I have arranged my transmitter/receiver so that I can transmit pseudo RS232 at 300 baud to my receiver on a dedicated spare channel to control many things such as lights, turn signals, brakes, horn, etc. Some devices consume a lot of current, so a separate battery is required. -Beau Schwabe |
