I am finally getting around to posting this simple tutorial/how to. What we’re going to do is make an AC charger out of commonly available parts with the least amount of hassle. My kind of mod! Since I didn’t take pictures as I was building it, we’re going to deconstruct it. Here’s a picture of the final product:
For ages I’ve been looking for a switch that is small enough to be able to put on my little beasts to be able to turn them ON and OFF.
I know that the car doesn’t really NEED a switch, but hey! that’s never stopped me before. ;)
Basically the goal is to be able to take the battery out of circuit and charge it without any excess current drain from the PCB/lights.
Let’s start off by answering a few of the more common questions.
What type of printer should I use?
Ideally, you would want to use a laser printer – they print cleaner, easier, and more precise than inkjet or bubble jet printers. Laser printers print in better detail and don’t leave “dots” of ink like inkjet or bubble jet printers do. However, color laser printers can be quite expensive and you may not have access to one, so you’re left with the inkjet or bubble jet. Using inkjet or bubblejet will only add an extra step or two to the process.
This mod is da bomb. Thanks for PsuedoRooter for turning me on to it, and thanks to Clyston at BitMod.tk for posting this: http://www.universalhost.de/html_bit/antiboost.htm
This body mod will turn 1 1/2 Nissan Gloria bodies into a Elcamino style truck to fit a ZipZap Chassis. This project can take a week to do and not recomended to do on a weekend for best quality.
With that said let’s get all the supplies needed for this project.
You will need CA Glue (Super Glue), Two Gloria Bodies (Or any two like car bodies), #11 X-acto Blade, a set of needle files, various sanding films (Sandpaper on plastic film for wet sanding), some type of putty, sheets of plastic, and compatiable paints of your choice (1 as a primer).
You can also use a micro saw inplace of the X-acto.
