Lotus Elise body w/lighting system

[Nitroaddict]

I spent my entire 3 day weekend working on my touring car. I am becoming addicted to this hobby! Got an HPI Elise body, and after 20 coats, alternating between aqua and silver - it looks great! Also installed blue/white headlights, tailights, and servo actuated brake lights. Have taken pictures, and when they are uploaded, will post them, should be by tomorrow. Anyone know of any other cool tricks to do?

GREAT body! A buddy of mine just painted mine for me. Water based because of the color I wanted. I still have to get the decals on. (Nothing like real lights though!)

Get up some pics!

Hope these look good. This only my second body I have done. Anty comments would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the multiple posts, but for some reason, I cannot upload more than ! pic at a time. If someone knows how to do that - please let me know, so I can do it right in the future

I did not post the full size pics, as they were to large. If anyone wants to see all of them (about 12), email me or post a request with your email address and I will send them to you.

Very nice looking ride. The light job looks like it belonged there all along.

I have the same setup.
I didn't make the housing, i just put holes in the body. I'm lazy, it doesn't look good in the daytime, but at night, it looks really good.

Nice work Kwong2001!

BTW, welcome to RCNT.

Thanks, this forum looks pretty good. Expect plenty of posts from me. hehe...probably not, i'm just a street racer...but i do work on my own car

Hay so am I. I dont have any other car except for my GT4.

Or do you mean real car street racing? I used to be into that.. actually just fixing up my ride.

Anyway, stick around, you will find a lot of great info here and the other members are top notch.

C'mon let's get the ball rolling on this! Enough is enough! Mjime needs to get another car by next month. He's driving the 3+1 fast jogger now, Ojime714 has the MR2. I say a Savage, the Calandra, or 1/8th serpent, mugen...Emaxx!

I don't really street race real cars. If a car rolls up on me, i'll run, if i'm on a street where no cops are and there aren't a lot of cars around.

My r/c car, I just run in front of my house. But hopefully this sunday i'll race it for real.

Yeah I used to drag race my RX7 around where I live. As you get older it gets a little more dangerous street racing. I guess that's why I'm into the RC's, and it's less money to fix an RC up. Now I live my life by one empty parking lot at a time.
