Found this during my research.

Actually, I have a question. Anyone have an opinion on this combo?
Specifically, to use in my Bruder conversion.

Too big and too much money. I have one here (the esc) that's very similar but I'm not using it because of size. Also, I think it will be a real job to get that motor in one of our little trucks. Again, too big.

A while back I bought this light set made for RC cars for 12 or 14 bucks and thought about using it in the guard tower as a search light but then I moved ....
OK, is this too crazy?
I'm thinking about setting the truck up for FPV to drive using goggles, and this would mean night driving. I could make a light-bar that would also hold the mobius w/docking station and use that to not only get signal to the goggles, but take video at the same time.
I'm also considering using a mini cam mounted in the passenger seat and driving through goggles with the little pilot screen for guest viewing and that would be a mostly concealed system, but that means no FPV video, unless I just stick the mobius by itself (without the docking station) on the roof for video and drive through the minicam in the cab. Either way, I think these lights would provide enough light for FPV driving at night, and that might be cool. Makes me wish I still had Ansbach West (there ain't much that doesn't make me wish I still had Ansbach West) but I have a bunch of the buildings in the garage and I could set something up in the backyard. In the spring, anyway. For now I'd just practice in the basement.
So. Opinions? Comments?

Gary - can't see that anyone has responded to your question of the fender holes. They look like a natural place for indicator lenses with cage guards. No real basis for it, just gut feel.

Gary, those lights are insane, but I bet they’d be awesome through goggles
