Red light near tank topper?

[spyder918]

I saw a few pics of a biker that has a red square light near his tank topper.  Is this screen accurate?  Where's that from?  Will it pass Lancer?

1.  Not necessarily.   We don't know at what point these markings appeared on the tanks.

2.  There's a piece of red tape or a red decal on the top of the MotM Scout's tank:

So one of the prop makers at one point decided that meant there should be an LED light there.   Go figure.

Gino told us that the Scouts he saw in the archives all had some sort of markings on the top of their tanks.  My guess is this was to distinguish them for the individual stunt guy so they knew whose was whose.  But we don't allow anything other than what is put into our CRL.   Meaning the red stripe on the "dial" and the white circle.  

3.  Absolutely not.

I can't figure why these guys and I'm talking vendors wanna add lights.

Yeah just seems like unnecessary work and expense.

Thanks Mickey for confirming.  Appreciate that!

One more question about the tank.  I noticed the CRL mentioned the bottom needs to be riveted.  But I’ve seen some Lancers using a regular screw and bolt.  What is currently correct?

 A rivet is what it needs to be. If you mount the tank the way they did for the movies you'll have a removable tank. That's using the .5" elastic method as used in the movies.
