See How We Installed Magnetic LEDs Without Wires - Dori-Style RC Drifting Bodyshop!

Ever got the hump with having to unplug your LEDs every time you want to remove your body?
Here's the solution!
Simple guide on how I fit my "wireless" LED lights using magnetic body mounts on my RC drift cars. Obviously works for any type of car from drifters to touring cars to crawlers - but magnet mounts might not be best for bashers!
All you need is the LEDs you are using (these were £4 from eBay), the magnets you want to use to mount your body, a spare 'servo plug' with some wire attached and a soldering iron.
In total (excluding the time it took for the glue to dry on the body magnets) this is maybe a half-hour to an hour's job.
If this video seems popular (BIG if) then I will look into other how-tos that I haven't really seen about.
Thanks for looking - as always, a like/comment/subscribe/whatever would be very appreciated.

Absolutely genius brother. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this. I have all the knowledge to have done something like this but never invested enough effort to realize this would work. I need to stop being so lazy. Heading to my desk to slap some flux around right now. Btw I couldn’t agree more about flux. Absolutely changed the entire game for me with soldering. Don’t solder unless I have it now

Excellent, if I have managed to inspire just one person the video was worthwhile. Good luck with it and let me know how you get on 😎

Love this, thinking outside the box awesome 😎
For your existing body's you could try soldering to some copper tape and then stick that to the magnets, I use copper tape to shield guitar bodies and it takes way less heat to solder to,

[@dori-style]

Thanks, I shall look into that 👍

[@nsquezada27]

Clever as hell. Thanks for the post!

[@Mistoner1023]

Thank you for that such a simple process , gonna try on my own Rc
Love that !

[@dori-style]

Excellent, have fun 👍

[@lancephelps4871]

Thank you so much for posting this Very cool idea!!! I can't say when I will use this, you do have the gears in my head turning.

[@dori-style]

I am very glad you got something from it, if you found some inspiration then I have done what I set out to do 😊 Thanks 👍

This is sick.

[@dori-style]

Thanks 👍 😊

[@allantaylor3064]

Brilliant I'm definitely going to try this out👍🏻

[@dori-style]

Awesome, let us know how you get on 👍

[@micahwilliams2281]

Brilliant!!!

[@eddyghioalda4526]

You could also use copper tape to avoid the soldering

[@dori-style]

Cheers, reckon I'll have a crack at that 👍😊

This was really helpful. Would this work if I used multiple lights sets. For example, seperate headlights, tail lights, fog lights and spot lights? I'm hoping to use 5 different sets of lights.

[@xdriftsoulx]

I try it bt one of the led start to blink!! Why??

[@dori-style]

I have no idea - but a bit of Google-Fu suggests a poor connection somewhere along the line. Without getting hold of the vehicle and a multi-meter I can't really help much, but I would suggest going throught the circuit with a multi-meter to see where the voltage drops and go from there. Hope this helps at least a little.

Anyone know we’re I can get brake disc and calipers for a sakura d5 mrs evo v2?

[@dori-style]

I can only think that Google is your friend?

[@user-xq1ms6of5t]

Sick 🔥 link to the magnets at all please?

[@dori-style]

Thanks -) The magnets I get off Amazon, almost any will work but I prefer the ones with holes in, such as these:
www.amazon.co.uk/Neodymium-Countersunk-Whiteboards-Refrigerator-Workplace/dp/B08PV26J4H/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2RU0A4TXOREHX&keywords=magnets&qid=1697996120&sprefix=magnets%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
And be careful with the sizes, it's very easy to get it wrong and end up with loads of the wrong size... ask me how I know, lol...

@@dori-style thanks man, and keep up the awesomeness 🔥🔥
