Big lights or light bar for a 1/6 F-350?

[Neeley]

As title says, I'm unable to find anything. If I were to make my own does anyone have any ideas how to do it? Stainless steel egg cups may be?

Neil.

Oh thanks....

1/6 F-350 build

I haven't revealed the body yet.

There are 10mm lights available at radio shack, ebay, etc. Just to give you an idea of size, most people run 5mm lights in their light bars. I have yet to see a 10mm light bar though so you would have to make it, but looking at your build thread, I don't think you'd have a problem with that. Good luck!

These might be close to the size you are looking for.

That's some expensive lights!

You can buy the big "Sharpie" markers. Take the covers with the clip on them and cut the clip off. File it down smooth. Then cut the closed end off however deep you want it to be. Just use what ever colored pen you want the buckets to be. When they are done they look just like KC lights! And I say the big markers because the regular markers work for 1/10 rigs. The large or "Jumbo" would work for what your doing. And it will only cost you a few bucks to make them.

Radio Shack has LED's for $1.25 for a 2 pack. It's easy to wire everything up. I'd say you could do a 6 light bar for under $25 for everything

Get yourself a set of the original plastic light buckets that come with the hpi 5b/5t. Should work out to be a lot cheaper

[RockEd out]

RPM also makes light buckets for the 5B and 5T

[Neeley]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I just bought 4 cap lights which will get hacked.

Also the tops from dove deodorant are the perfect size, shape and toughness for the housings.

But yeah those RPM lightbars for the Slash's will be long enough, Actually probably will look more scale because they are small just like in the real 1:1 size is what everyone gets for lights. Small and low profile

[Neeley]

How Much.....

That's silly expensive.

[team3six]

well thats because they are machined parts.
here is TGN's website, They have other options too.

[CUSTOMHILUX]

I think 3racing make a light bar

[Neeley]

Still having difficulty in finding lights, lightbar or spotlights large enough for a scale look. If someone has the proline lightbar could you please measure the diameter of the individual lights?

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Neil.

I came across these by accident last week. I found them in WalMart in the book section for $1.47 when I was out of town. Google images and you should be able to find them. http://www.worldfms.com/images/camping/937am.jpg

There a bunch of different booklights out there.

Dollar tree has exactly the same ones for $1, plus a variety of others, clip on book lights, folding ladies purse lights, all of them have LED's and batteries included.

Thanks guys.

Yes, I have already seen those lights, there too small for a scale look. However, I've found more or less exactly what I'm looking for.
