BJ26 Lights

[mhuneycutt]

Just bought my new BJ26 this week and found only one problem. I wanted to continue driving at night, but couldn't see it. After several trips to the hobby store and RadioShack I finally completed my project but wanted to share my project in order to hopefully spare someone all the return trips and wasted gas... I think it turned out very nicely.

Here's what you'll need...
Hobby Store:
Y Servo harness.
RadioShack:
1 Red 5mm LED 3000mcd recommended.(mcd is brightness)
1 Green 5mm LED 3000mcd recommended.
2 White 5mm LED's 7000mcd recommended.
2 1/4 watt 100 Ohm resistors
Light gauge wire
LED holders

* Test LED polarity before installation as they will only work in one direction.
1)Solder Red and Green in parallel including the 100Ohm resistors on both positive ends.
2)Solder White LED's in series (No resistor)
3)Plug the Y servo harness into receiver and servo into one of the Y connectors; remove the other connector using only the red and black wire (6V Output)
4) Solder all 3 positives together and all three 3 negatives to Y harness.
5) Drill holes in desired locations, insert LED holders and insert LED's.

I'm sure this has been done, but I couldn't find simple instructions so I hope this helps someone.

Looks pretty good.

5x LED hight intensity / 3 volt
2x AA battery
No resistor require

Just connect all the LED in parallel




Have fun
