Let There Be Light!!! Tamiya Lancia 037…

[@andrewmagro7703]

SO SO Glad That Your Happy with the Lights there Glenn its Turned out 10/10 Spot on,, For a min there i was feeling bad sending you a nightmare of a job to do but then seeing the end result i was super chuffed that i did get them out to you my friend and your spot on about the 3mm led as when i saw my kit and saw the size of the holes i figured if you wanted to you could use the 3mm led instead of the 5mm, But all in all Super Happy that its turned out so gorgeous and also was over the moon when you said your going to use the BZ Superstock in the Leonis as its the recommended motor for it so Thanks for allowing me to contribute to such a Great Channel and to Happy RC'ing as the efforts you go to for this Fab Channel is second to none and its you as a person thats makes this possible. :-)

Is it 3mm LEDs in the four middle spotlights and 5mm in the outer lights?

Haha fantastic comment my friend, that really made me have a chuckle 😂👊🏻

[@paulscott1105]

Wow that lighting kit is amazing, that’s now on my list ready for when I build my kit, another great video, thank you 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ddogphacemorcane3198]

Making light kits work is a huge effort but definitely worth it. With light coloured bodies (white, yellow, orange) I paint the inside with a couple coats of silver then black to eliminate light bleed.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent information thank you 😊

[@harrybachmann9815]

Thought that was a nice looking car before but those lights really bring it to another level. Props to having the patience for the install. 👍

Thanks Harry 😎 Yeah it was a bit of a mission but well worth it in the end my friend 😅👊🏻

[@baconator_c10]

I’d love to do this for a shelf queen. Possible lights & wiring without the kit, and hooking it up to a 12V power source that can plug in a wall.

[@simonblackwell7906]

Yep that just made me want one Looks fantastic 👍👍👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Simon 😊👊🏻

[@rc-dom-uk]

I looked at the lights and thought About fitting lights then promptly moved on as it looked real fiddly😂 but I agree those spots need lighting . Maybe one day

Car looks great.excellent video too Glen 🤩🤩🤩

Thanks as always Ian 😊👊🏻

[@rcicons4915]

Nice work Glenn. Lights always lift a kit. They are absolutely a pig though. Semi trucks are the worst. Have 30 lights on my aeromax. The wires! My word, the wires! It gets overwhelming.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy yeah maybe one day I’ll attempt the lights on the truck, but there’s no rush 🤣👊🏻

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Holy crap, that Lancia looks bloody fantastic with the lights in it!! I've got one of those kits, I've built the chassis but I'm planning something a bit different for the bodyshell. I was going to put lights in mine, and after seeing this video I think I'll get the LED set and fit it before I finish the shell ;) Awesome job mate!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah that’s definitely what to do my friend, it’ll save time and a lot of hassle 😅👊🏻

[@carstenlamping8515]

Don' t know why , but this hardbody looks almost real 1:1 ! Dream Car

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah the whole detailing of the body shell is next level from Tamiya 🤩👊🏻

[@ptaylor5014]

Looks really cool, if you can get those 4 light cowling off, i would light block them with either some black paint or silver foil tape.

[@ddogphacemorcane3198]

Yep, I was going to suggest the same thing except using silver paint first so that it doesn't tint the white that much.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I’ve done that now with silver then black 😅👊🏻

[@rc-dom-uk]

Nice job . Maybe might try and have a go myself .

That is the coolest lancia rc car kit out there and now with those led's looks even more amazing. So nice of people to send you quality kits and accessories, unfortunately unless you need bald tyres for a Grasshopper I cant match them. Keep up the good work ✋🙂

Its a dazzler that is Glenn. Its a lovely looking kit. Other kits in the pipeline at the moment so can't part with my cash for one of those dazzlers yet. ATB Darren.

Thanks Darren 😊👊🏻

[@Mglaiel]

Wow very cool. Do you have part numbers for all the lights and controller

[@tm5123]

Oh my it looks gorgeous with the lights on! I'm starting to slowly warm to this car, with the stupid massive bumper off it begins to look like the original. Wonder if theres any way to get those bulbs to be a bit on the yellow side, the blueish tint makes them look a bit modern (like xenon/LED), having that old 80s yellow light would be ace. :D

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks for watching and leaving a comment my friend 😅👊🏻

[@ddogphacemorcane3198]

Switching the LED from the 5000K-6000K bright white for 3000K-3500K warm white light would be closer to an incandescent bulb

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

I’m currently in the process of building an R34 GT-R (the Tamiya one, mind!) and deciding whether to put lights in or not. Still don’t know when I’ll get to it since I’m waiting on a certain paint to come back in stock at my supplier (Spaz Stix) but the LED thing has been on my mind for some time. Definitely a must if doing the Coppermix Silvia or the R34. I’ll let you know how it goes. I love the Tamiya PS colors but the purple wasn’t deep enough which is why I went with Spaz Stix. The only thing is that it’s enamel instead of acrylic like the Tamiya paints are so spraying might be a bit different.

[@TAMIYALegends]

That’s fantastic it sounds like it’s going to be a Beauty my friend 😎👊🏻

Just bought this kit. Not sure I will do a light kit though. It looks a right pain !

[@lionelplunkett9428]

G'day Glenn mate lol the Tamiya led kits are complex you can have turn signals left and right and break light hi beam low beam head lights. Use y leads plug it in to channel 1 on receiver and one of the socket on Tamiya light kit try all there's one that blinks when you turn left or right. Same for throttle break light. And use 3rd channel for hi and low beam for head light I hope you understand what I'm cracking on about mate lol I'm not the best at writing down what I know mate lol 😂

Nice work as always Glenn. Just bought one of these for my son for Christmas to use with a lampkit on the Hotshot so really useful as keen to put lights on my rally Focus too. I saw Traxxas sells a more sophisticated light module that gives you brake lights too so wondered if anyone has tried a different setup?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent hopefully someone will comment back regarding the other light unit 🤓👊🏻

addend lights to some of mine its awkward to keep nice and neat ,you done well..when i drive them they loosen up and i have to fix (fj cruiser as per everything you bash)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for watching Lee 😎👊🏻

[@tonygregg6957]

That was a bit of a mission but it's definitely worth it, the car looks awesome with them on. I've found that Tamiya 3mm LEDs with leads are expensive and quite hard to find. I have found that the bulbs from the dirt cheap kits on eBay work with the tlu and seem to come with a mixture of sizes. If you do another, I think it's worth backing a kit that you plan to put lights in with primer and/or silver just around the lights, it just cuts down any shine. Or you can put some silver aluminium tape around the back of the LEDs.

[@TAMIYALegends]

That’s fantastic information Tony thank you 😎👊🏻

Glen, you may will have shouted "let there be light" but did you do the job in just 7 days? Love that car BTW. Always had a soft spot for the Stratos and the Integrale HF Turbo. I hope Tamiya bring out a really special Integrale on an XV-01 Pro or VX-01R on a long shock chassis (yes I know they don't exist). Same sort of thing that did with the Porsches, make em special.

[@TAMIYALegends]

LEDs on RC cars are awesome but a PIA to set up and maintain. I have a set on one of my Porche shells and they kept falling out so I just super glued them into the light bucket housings. Problem solved.
