I will be using a recycled Onevia body, I got from my friend.
The DIY is really simple and it can be applied to any other bodies.
Part: One Assembly rod
Cut off an opening for the new buckets make sure its straight.
* for Trueno AE86 body follow the outline of the lid and save the Lids*
Insert the push rod into the antenna straw then bend the rod into V shape
Place the assembly rod inside the rc body for measurements
Once you have the right measurement bend the other end of the rod into V shape
Place the assembly rod inside the body and either use tape or hot glue to hold in place temporarily
Now glue hot glue or tape the Lid on the V shape rod
Check if everything is aligned
Do a manual flip test
Now you can permanently epoxy the antenna straw and the Lids
Part: Two Light buckets
Here's my version for light buckets, you need to make a triangle and for the width measure the opening in the body
Glue the bucket with the lid temporarily
Check for alignment and glue pemanently
Cut little cardboard triangles for the side of the buckets
I painted them with black markers and glue them on the sides of the buckets
Outline the front lens with a black marker
Important !
Add a piece of straw on the end of the assembly rod to prevent from moving
Part: Three Servo arm
You need a servo arm for the light bucket
Glue the arm on the side of the light bucket
You need a servo push rod for final piece bend the ends
Measure the length and where you want place the servo
Install one end of the push rod to the light bucket
Do the same on servo
Placed the servo on an angle where the wheels are free to move
Run the servo wire on the side where the receiver for easy access
Your Done!
