Mini Cooper 1/6 Scale



time to see whats inside

need to remove everything to make room for the goodies 😉

will cut that battery compartment to add more space and strip off that rear motor

top part of mini detached

hmmm not bad

cutting them as they might damage the mobo

battery compartment gone and rear motor removed 😉

ROG Asus Maximus Gene VI, Intel Core i5-4670K Processor and Corsair HX750 PSU

checking if mobo will fit

the height for the cpu fan

will make a platform for that psu

plenty of space above the psu

Not sure if you did something with the lights of the Mini yet... if so, then forgive me for not finding it...

So, I was thinking that it would look awesome if you would use the mobo front panel headers for some LEDs... like the power LED could go to the headlights as daytime running lights; the HDD LED could be built in in the index lights... 🙂 Thinking further, maybe you could fit a temp display on the place of the license tag... 🙂

Well, your build is amazing... LOL, just got taken by the waves... 😄

Ive used the front panel headers except for the hdd. Logisys remote start uses the power and reset. And there are 6 led in front and 6 tail. So i decided to just put it on battery as i dont want it always on and blinking coz of hdd. At least i can turn it on or off whenever i want. I havent thought of the temp display that would be great. 😉 Im still trying to make the Phobya red leds at the bottom to have a switch, coz at the moment its always on as its conmected to molex. 😉 will upload a photos once im done
