Dammit, RIGHT after I bought a set of third-party light buckets.

Oh well, I can still use my preferred LEDs with the third-party light buckets. I wonder if Traxxas has a good solution for transferring power from the chassis to the body shell without using a wiring harness that requires manually unplugging a connector every time you take the body off? I came up with my own solution for my other crawlers, but I wouldn't complain about a ready-made solution for my TRX-4.

Hmm. Maybe I'll just pick up the rock-light set, and see if I can figure out how to make them turn on automatically when switching into low gear.

Also, is there some reason I can't edit my previous post?

That looks like a good light kit. A lot of the companies making light kits now just suck.

Mine comes in today. Looks like a nice setup. Does anyone want pics of this when I get it?

fyrstormer 10-13-2017 07:05 AM

Yes.

In particular, I'd like to see if the LEDs flicker when you turn the steering servo. My experience with Traxxas light kits in the past has been that they do that.

Steel_Rain 10-23-2017 07:13 PM

They do not flicker when turning...a great thing. Why are pictures disabled in this thread? PM me your email and I can send you some. It's a good kit.

That's good. The lights on my Summit, and the original lights on my Stampede 4x4, were wired so the LEDs were connected in-series and they required more voltage than the BEC was supplying, so the slightest power drain from the steering servo would make the lights flicker. I rewired my Stampede 4x4 with each light connected separately with its own resistor to control its power usage, and that fixed that problem. I haven't rewired my Summit yet; I need to buy more resistors first.

I emailed you. :)

Interesting!

Sealed waterproof design

between body and chassis
• Traxxas LED lighting module
