Frutos´s Custom DCK scanner for 1:18 replicas

Hi another time!!

with the big help of my genius friend Frutos, we´ve constructed the first 8 led scanner programable with tons of effects, it looks soooo hot and it´s easily fitteable on a ERTL kitt replica (scanner hole = 2.7 cm).

Specifications :

- The scanner is 3 piece-based fully dismontables : Leds-Circuit-Buttons
- Fully programable (pic-based)
- it has a 4-button miniboard that allows you to:
> increase scanner speed
> decrease scanner speed
> change trailing effect (from 1 to 5 led´s)
> all lights on effect (criss cross experimental)
- works with a 9v standar battery
- original assembler code by Frutos (scanpickitt_v1.2)
- circuit it´s super little (3x3cm)

it´s incredible, most of the scanner´s of 8 halogens or bulbs have less effects than this scanner :), and of course it has more things than Knightlight´s one :)

it´s fully homemade and if anyone is super interested on buy one, may know that it´s very expensive (ports + scanner), we have tried to do 3 scanners and only one work propperly (we´re not good solders xDD)

and of course, i haven´t yet a ERTL replica of Kitt (in spain are hard to find, and importation make it about 60 $), but i´ve fitted easily (putting out the interior xD, i wont like to make me the life harder, it was only to see it in action) the scanner to my Lamborghini Diablo 1:18 replica and the result it´s unbeliveable :D:D:D Dark´s Custom Kitt replica made reality!! :) xDD (DCK rules!)

There are 2 VIDEOS of the scanner working:

and finally made:

and, of course, a couple of pics! :) :)

Cool! I have 1:24 models, though, which are too small for these types of scanners. :(

Hey there DarKSLaiN! That's a pretty nice scanner package that you made. Lots of features too! And the compactness of the circuit board makes it more easier to attach to the interior of the car. Coolness indeed!! :D

Will it fit on the 1/18 diecast car? If so you should sell it with a reasonable price on Ebay.

of course, KARR_Knight :), it will fit on every size that will be 2,7cm or more, the hole on the Lamborghini it´s so big, and it fits propperly :).

When i´ll put in the ERTL replica i´ll post some pics, it´ll be awesome, im sure!! :)
