RC Police With Lightbar Barricade Custom

I wanted to make one that looked like Barricade from the new Transformers movie. I had a couple of sirens I tried to solder up, but monkey like paws and impatience don't serve well with tiny objects and me. I didn't want it to look exactly like Barricade so I changed the vehicle number and police department.
My wife gave me the idea for the lightbar, had to order some things from Hong Kong like light controller. Had the decals made by a sign shop. Painted the wheels and body myself. Sets on a Traxxas Nitro 4 Tec 3.3. Wicked fast RC car. Still going to add some grill lighs, and pushbar, and blackout the windows so you cant see all the wires. Hope you like it, and thanks again to everyone that helped with this project. I greatly appreciate it.

@evilmuscle Thanks! The body is just for looks. This one sits on the shelf. Recent upgrades are carbon fiber chassis, rear shock tower, rear brace and upper chassis. All hand cut.

Dude that's badass i got this link off a website. That's a hobby. I'm tying to figure out what led lights to use on my revo for headlights. And where to wire them to to make them work. Any ideas?

@TonyYfz450 Sorry for the 7 month reply: Which website? On the Revo I used 5mm LEDs and ran the wires down the cent of the body. You can hot glue the wires or use tape. Tape doesn't like dirt though and will come off eventually, but the glue has been holding out for me so far. Thanks for the comment!

If yoi can build nfs hot pursuit cop reventon that would be awesome but still this is too

[kaceywells]

@CHEVYbarracuda1 Easy enough, just a lambo body. Thanks for the comment!

@kaceywells

thank you man.

@MrGrider7 ebay...just do a search for RC LED lights and you will find plenty of options. Also if you are close to a Radio Shack...they have a selection too. I think they even sell the cannisters for the headlights and tail lights.

[MrGrider7]

where do you get your lights?

To punish and enslave. Yep thats our police department.
