And, last in this humble series, but certainly not least, is my ambulance. The headlights and taillights glow red and it has LEDs on top that flash alternately back and forth. I wanted to use white or blue LEDs for the headlights, but just couldn't get the juice I needed to power everything from one battery. The red LEDs still look good running around the track, so I'm still satisfied. The antenna is the same spring but designed to fit inside the body. The SUV uses this same technique. The body can be detached from the chassis completely via a tiny connector. The yellow arrows point to the power switch. It is hidden nicely in the rear passenger side window. The green paint is what I had lying around at the time. It gives the ambulance a semi military look.
I almost forgot, the tires and rims are from a toy I've had in my junk box for years. They give the vehicle a nice custom look. I still plan to detail the rims and add more decals.
