Good to hear man. What's the problem with the back trace? I gotta get that schematic updated!

I have not added the diodes on the LEDs. not your fault. I ran out of time.

The long two blue wires go to the POT.
I wanted to mount that so externally I can change the rate.
Just have to cut off the extra legs. Then plasticlize it.

That's just priceless. I like the way you "compensate" in the 2nd half of the video, lol!

I need to dremel out the front grill. Right now it's TOO low.

but here is the same effect Ph2t has accomplished.

nox put a motorized pot on their and use a super bit controler to adjust it

that would be great

the thing is

oh yeah will you mass produce them if you do how much

one could attached the POT (somehow) to the motor's speed.
the faster you go, the faster it scans. (and the opp, slow down, it slows down).

As to mass produce...that's up to Ph2t, it's his design. I just copied it.

nox i mean this pot http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/c ... type=store and use the 2 buttons on the super bit controller that are not being use

Looking good there man. How are you going to fit it all in the shell? I'm intrigued..............

I ain't. that's way I'm shrinking the LEDs down to the smallest ones I can get a hold of.

Also, you mentioned the aussie cop car....
I'm also gonna use the timer setup to do cop lights (steel yer idea, again).
I'm thinking the parking lights (tail/front), bubblegum ball on top, etc.

Here's the link to the indicator lights:

http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthread ... tor+lights

This is the circuit I used for the indicator lights. It's basically a two transistor alternate flasher but with two switching transistors for left and right.

Parking lights are cool. I started investigating the brake lights. When you stop they are at full brightness, when you move (be it fwd ot rev) they would dim a bit. The headlights would be similar. Dimmed when stopped, full brightness when moving.

this shiat is endless....

caruse control, ABS, fuel injected.
