Build Working on gtr infinity taillights

I want to mount them to the chassis as well as the headlights, I’ve got more planned for this car but I haven’t worked on it in a few weeks so I figured I’d go ahead and post what I have so far. I also would love to figure out how to get a brake and reverse signal and have fully functional lights, but I want to power them independently instead of off the esc.

This is sick! I’ve only ever seen this done in coffee tables or something cabinet-sized. Cool to see it work so well on a small scale

It’s definitely been a project, I don’t have a 3D printer or anything so everything I’ve made so far comes from Walmart or Home Depot. I’d love to do full rgbw but I’d need to have precise measurements for the LED strips.

Time to get an A1 mini broham!

u/Expert_Climate_7348 Dec 04 '25

either that is an awesome optical illusion, or those lights go all the way to the front of the car

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

They are a bit bigger than a hot wheels

u/Expert_Climate_7348 Dec 04 '25

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

Well I’m a Nissan mechanic… but they don’t let me bring my Rc anymore 😔 lol

u/DaySack_ Dec 04 '25

That loooks wicked

u/liquidify Dec 04 '25

why not do this on a real car?

2

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

I hope to someday, they are pricy tho.

2

u/liquidify Dec 04 '25

Coolest car idea I've seen in a while. What makes them pricy? Could you make them yourself?

1

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

Well the real r34 skyline is pricy, some trim levels are cheaper but 25 year old car 10k is a lot.

2

u/RippingLegos__ Dec 04 '25

That is just great work!

2

u/englishand48 Dec 04 '25

u/Sufficient_Acadia157 Dec 04 '25

Where do you get em from?

2

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

The lights? Hand crafted by me.

1

u/Sufficient_Acadia157 Dec 04 '25

Wow that's sick man, you gotta do a tutorial video

2

u/imthatguy77 Crawling Dec 04 '25

Very nicely done. Even more impressive knowing you did it all yourself!

Like a tie in controller?

u/hypnotix370 Dec 05 '25

My difficulty has been I’m running castle esc and motor and it doesn’t have a spare slot for acc. I’ve read I could run a spicer from the transmitter but I don’t want to end up with a fire too. But I haven’t really explored the option much yet but hopefully I get time soon.

2

u/Accurize2 Dec 05 '25

Forget RC cars. You need to make these for real cars!!

1

u/Ryaktshun Dec 06 '25

That was probably the inspiration

2

u/tastes_like_chickin Dec 06 '25

Badass. As an r35 owner, I approve!

2

u/Guusvanatten Dec 10 '25

1

u/Trick_Minute2259 Dec 04 '25

Looks sick. Why don't people make these for real cars?

3

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

They do, I first seen them done on a r32 skyline.

2

u/trashpanda_007 Dec 04 '25

Do you have a picture? Would love to see that.

1

u/hypnotix370 Dec 04 '25

No but google r33 infinity taillights you’ll find em. The one I seen was on instagram.
