Trailwalker Rear Light Bucket

thingiverse

Rear light bucket for Element Enduro Trailwalker (3mm LED's) Mirror in slicer for other side. I made these to match the original stickers that come on the shell. There is two buckets each side for side lights and reverse although I only wanted sides. Reverse could be also be made an indicator if required. I used 3mm LED's as I did not want them ultra bright. I also lined the bucket with Kitchen Foil but I'm unsure whether that does anything? I cut a small square out of the stickers and painted the inside after removing old paint. . I masked the inside of my body and cleaned the original paint off with some very old nitro fuel. It took some rubbing but cleaned of completely in about 20 minutes. The second side I did with nitro and a Dremel with polishing mop but don't think it saved me any time. Maybe newer fuel would have helped but got it clean in the end? I then used Tamiya Clear Red paint with white LED's. Once happy with the red I spayed and little white paint over the back to defuse the light a bit. This also lightened up the red to match the sticker better when lights are not switched on. I think it came out really well. I then just used a small bead of silicone to hold them in place.
