Sooo bored and mix that with a box of LEDs a sheet of poly and a load of free time this is what you get...now I’m not one to put lights on bashers simply because of they usually get damaged...dealing with the connections every time you pull the body off and taking power from your battery..that being said I made a front light bar that has its own lipo and the lights on the body has its own lipo mounted to cage eliminating the wire issues...didn’t put them on to run at night but they’re so bright they’re great for orientation when it gets a ways away from me..yes I have issues and I know I’ll get crap for it but wth?

Looks awesome but 1 thing that would bother me is the extra weight of the batteries. What size batteries are being use?

I used a 2 cell 1500 mah for front light bar which is 1-1/2” X 2-1/2” and single cell that’s a shade bigger than a AA battery for interior and rear LEDs...so hardly any weight...LEDs are so efficient you don’t need much mah to run...I ran the 2 cell on the light bar because I soldered the 8 LEDs in series 4 groups of 2 which makes them as bright as possible without using in line resistors...I have hundreds of resistors in assorted values too just didn’t wanna solder them on lol

For the Kraken light bar you need 11.1v. I Run a separate battery with voltage limiter because only the top bar runs on 11v all the the other are 7.4v, I use an electronic switch so I can switch them remotely. The battery is tiny about the same as a 9v Alkaline cell.

Sound complicated but it’s super easy.
