Rainlight for Tamiya Fighter Buggy

thingiverse

A simple rainlight (F1-Style) for the Tamiya Fighter Buggy. No modifications on car! Simply put the plate between spoiler and his holder, screw on, ready. The only "change" is, that the spoiler now is 1.5mm higher than before. We have two caps: a simple, and one with an protector. This protection can be painted black or so (mine was simple painted with an black permanent marker). Your choice! The plate can be printed without any support, the light housing should be printed with a bit support, facing the hole for the led upwards. The glasses should be print with the lens upwards, for best results (print them in a clear or transparent material), also using support. Here you can play with infill: I'm using 30%, but you can also made it with more or less. For mounting, you need 2 screws (M3) and 2 M3 nuts, they are fitting fine into the holder. Maybe, also normal Tamiya screws will work.... Inside the light is enough space for light, I'm used a simple red, 5mm blink-LED, with an 220 Ohm resistor. This was directly plugged into receiver (on a 5-volt-system, on other voltages you may need other resistors). Led was glued into the case, the resisor soldered in cable, protected by shrink tube. The lens simply plug into case. You can use a bit of glue, if you want. A good idea was, to print the plate with flexible material (like TPU), this protects the unit (and the soiler) for breaking. Mine parts was made from PETG. A short video for the working version: https://youtu.be/WM77ZN2iH48
