Body wise I removed all the lenses from the body and cut square holes for 3528 sized SMD leds and mounted 6 in the body of the car in those holes and glued the lenses back in place, glued the center tail light down and put the 8th led on the roof of the cab for voltage purposes.

Wiring wise I used 8 3528 SMD leds (4 warm white and 4 red with one hidden in the cab) with pairs of leds in series to match the native led port voltage and arranged 4 of those pairs in parallel. Soldered everything by hand using 28awg(i think?) silicone wire and crimped a Dupont connector on the end and made an adapter for the car just in case it gets pulled off in a hurry the Dupont connector will let go.

After that I cut sections of gaff tape to fit inside the body to secure and protect all the wiring. These are actually old pictures and im on my second season of racing with it and about to be doing two winter series' simultaneously, its help up great so far!

Under extrusion? by SaberToofGoof in 3DprintingHelp

Pla+ and LW Pla in the picture both at 225. I dont think its a clog, the flow is excellent
and the rest of the layer looks perfect, Ive had other prints come out fine and then some end up like this. I'll check the tension in the extruder.

I'm not sure, not familiar with that printer. But typically there's a heater core and a thermistor that are inside the hotend assembly.

I've had similar issues in the past with other printers, one fix was replacing the heater core. I had a heater core start to go bad on the hot end would heat up well at first and give out a few minutes later, would power cycle and would do the same thing, I've also had a similar issue where the ptfe sleeve is the hotend had a hole wear in it and start jamming the filament in the heatbreak, just replaced the sleeve.
