e36: RC Car Lighting Kit Review, PART 4 - "RC Car Flashing Light"

[@michaelhuber6405]

4 years later and you've helped an RC veteran find yet another awesome product. Found it on Ebay and immediately added it to my cart.

[@michaelhuber6405]

they're about $13 bucks now though..

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh glad to hear it!

[@mikesvirtualgarage9917]

Watched this video (along with your other light controller ones) many times, but just now realized this was from 2016! Bought this kit on ebay after watching your video and its perfect for one of my applications. Thank you!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah this is the one I use still. I am happy they are still around but they are the best ones for the $

[@j.o1759]

I just got exactly this light unit in the mail this morning, and two hours later I found this review. I think I did choose the right one! Well worth the nine dollars spent! :)

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh yeah it is!

[@ominousnefarious5919]

I watched all of your light kit videos and want you to know I actually ordered each kit so I could follow along! 😆 I LOVE your videos and the time you took to figure out the features and how to get them to work. The car I spent the most time "making pretty" is my TT-02 Motul Autech Gt-R R35. I even used Traxxas Ford GT rear lights to make my R35 taillights look accurate and used resistors to make them work correctly with this light kit. This light kit seemed to work the best and matched up approximately with the lights I wanted to use and how I wanted them to operate. I ABSOLUTELY MUST THANK YOU "THAAANNNK YOU!" (you have been thanked, 😆)! Because I would have NEVER had the time to figure out all of these light kits and find the right one for each car. You made it possible for me to bring a level of realism to my cars I really wanted to see. Now i can drive my cars during cooler summer nights and look good doing it! Thanx again!!!!!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Very cool! I bet it looks awesome. Is funny as I still use my own videos to figure out the kits as I install them to this day

[@annieroberts1204]

GOOD JOB. I have a couple of these sets and no instructions. Had em for a couple years and they were maddening. You saved the day. I can now install lights in my RGT Jeep crawler.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Seriously man, is it that hard to EXPLAIN how the product you make works? It is horrible that they do this! I am glad you appreciated it.

[@petemarchi5112]

Excellent advice. I am trying to “light up” my bullhead and the 4 forwards on mode will work perfectly. Thank you for your testing on the kits available!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Any time!

[@johnehrke987]

Thank you for the review! This headlight issue has had me so frustrated over the last few years. Funny, I had just bought two of these and after the standard setup resulting in the same issue, I went searching for answers and came across your video review. Much appreciated!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Not a problem man. They are so irritating.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Not a problem. It is awful how you can't tell anything about these on ebay.

Sure that how china / their suppliers do their stuff, barely give detailed description on products no one told me my own experience, if no one puts his review on internet ...then i have to go through your adventure lol

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah that was my thought. I just wish they would have good documentation on this stuff. I have to watch my own videos to figure out how to wire those things up!

xD lol !

[@JorgeJimenez2020]

I'm so glad you took the time to review all of these lighting kits. I got the one on this review, the RC Car Flashing Light from eBay and it works great. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to install them on my LaTrax Teton, but all the functionality is there, I just followed your vid and I didn't even have to figure out what the Chenglish said... lol

[@AMPROEngineering]

Haha, thanks Jorge. I had to do this since they gave me such frustration!

[@krowe33]

Yeah, I would have purchased 5 wrong kits before I bought this one. I for one really appreciate the time and money it took to do these reviews!

[@mr.sinister1279]

This is by far one of the funniest and most entertaining reviews I’ve seen on utube.. I jus bought this light set for my cen racing F450 daulie which is wat I want the flashing lights for hauling.. too bad the lights don’t come wit a light bracket so wen u drill holes in the body they don’t jus dangle

[@AMPROEngineering]

haha thanks. Yeah this is an instance where you get what you pay for.

I have bought 4 different types working off the channel 3 from my DumboRC Controller however none of them work and or they are either on or off. I will purchase one of these and try it out. thank you

I agree.

[@ocularcavity8412]

Love the videos keep up the good work and you just saved me $100 AND showed me a unit with more realistic turn signal timing and brake light behavior Sub for LIFE

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh I am glad I was able to help! Were you going to get the Tamiya TLU01 & 02?

[@ocularcavity8412]

actually was originally looking at the Axial Night Vision System for $99.99 no offense to axial but WAY overpriced and overbuilt for my needs, thanks to you i found an affordable alternative. I bought 2 of the 12 led flashing system in case one burns out, and that still cost less than 1/3 of the axial unit, i want buy some retro Re-releases and with the cost of this kit i can light up all the RC's i want, if only my Tyco Turbo Hopper was hobby grade i would light it up as well but i will have to wait until i can get a Hornet Re-release so i won't feel bad about driving a classic around in the dirt and i won't have to chop up my beloved hopper

[@AMPROEngineering]

$99! Really? I looks like one of the kits I reviewed! Man that is pricey. Yeah the Hopper is hard car to cut up. I wont touch mine!

[@jrbigboy1]

Very Good!!! Thanks for all your time on this subject. Found this still on EBAY as "Rc Car Flashing light" for $13.99.

Nice review thanks. I found these on aliexpress called '3racing 12 led Multi-color Flashing Light System' ... in case those last 6 get bought!

hi there, really enjoyed your lighting video's. I thought I'd get myself a set of these lights, so I searched eBay, but to no avail, just couldn't find them. now at the minute I'm building a tamiya globe liner rig and I put all the bits and pieces in the box. RC4WD motor, bearings, extra gears to lock the diffs, off road tyres, light kit, servos etc. so I got her built, painted the body, lifted the light kit, and guess what, it's the rc car flashing light kit. lol I've had it for a year or more, go figure. the more I thought about it the more I laughed about it. my light kit doesn't have the dip switches and the box is blue. so gonna wire it up tomorrow. well, great vids as usual, lookin forward to the next one. 😀 👍 👍

[@AMPROEngineering]

Wow really? How did it go for you?

[@mikeymike3240]

AMPRO Engineering I ordered a couple of the light kits and because I'd watched all of your videos on the lights, it was really easy, I could have wired it up blindfolded. so thanks for your videos. 😀 👍 👍 👍

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well thank you. I watch mine too when I get stuck, haha!

[@mikeymike3240]

Used in my komodo & scx10 xj. Works like a charm & yes they are 3racing, it says in the middle of a paragraph on the chinenglish instructions. Can't beat em for less than $15. The ones on my komodo are now about 2 years old so they hold up too!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Cool man thanks for the info!

[@bellyisis]

I think you are as particular as I am. All I want is headlight,fog light ,turn signal ,brake and maybe a light bar. I have the light kit from part 1, but I might get this one now. Great video too

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks you. You would think what I am looking for is not that hard to find...

[@martinlaliberte5333]

Thank you for that amazing video, I just get the Tamiya Audi Quattro A2 that need 16 light to cover the need of the model. Height of those light are the front white lights. So my question is, can I add two more light in the empty J2 and J3? This way, I will have 4 lights always open in J7 and J8 and forward lights in J2 and J3? That will solve the issue of missing light. Thank you in advance.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I wish you could but this kit isn't powerful enough. I usually make my own light set for the head lights and marker lights. You can also check out my videos covering my trick RC. They have awesome sets that will do pretty much anything.

[@martinlaliberte5333]

FYI it's work! I added two more LED and it work's fine at low price

[@johnnorth1187]

I’m new at the r/c game and I bought this light kit for my 15 year old radio shack ford p/u it doesn’t appear to have any place to plug in this kit , can it be adapted to it or do I need to take it apart more. Can you help.

[@AMPROEngineering]

No it needs a receiver designed for hobby type RC's. Basically all of the electronics of the car need to be swapped out. Sorry man.

[@johnnorth1187]

Thanks for your reply I greatly appreciate it. Is it possible to just wire the running lights by themselves without all the other stuff.

[@taadventures6312]

Didn’t read through all the comments but this kit is on eBay for like $13 free shipping. Just search “RC car flashing light”. First one top of page. Great videos man.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Very nice! I have noticed that it comes and goes on eBay.

[@WaynePryce]

If the cable that the button is connected too is black and red the schematics are correct. If it is yellow and white shits in reverse and sketch but still works fine .

[@AMPROEngineering]

It is correctly installed and seems to make the headlights flash? It is always different.

[@Ferra3904]

Luckily they sent me this unit instead of the set with only 1 set of headlights. Either would of been fine but nice to have extra set of BRIGHT headlights. Thanks for the video on these!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh good!

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Rc Car Flashing light. Sweet. Found one on Ebay $14.99 I recognized the packaging with the Rc car flashing light logo. But its name is actually the #R0250 kit.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh thank you for the info!

[@radieroslaw]

Thank you for solving my problem of choosing this great light controller. I really appreciate it. But could you tell me if I can use this controller and LEDs when my HobbyWing 1080 ESC is set to 7,4V instead of 6V ?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Sure thing! I think it would work but honestly I have not tried that. 1.4V is not that much of a delta but I cannot say if that will work.

[@krowe33]

The flahing mode isn't a demo mode. It is if you are building a police car/snow plow/etc. That way you have the flashing warning lights. Which means, that is a really cool kit. I have some on the way. Thanks for sharing!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh that makes sense.

[@TheTechdeckfreak95]

They are good just got them today they are excellent I wanna buy another for back up 😁😁

[@AMPROEngineering]

Cool! Glad you like it.

[@modelnutty6503]

I'm liking this set, know you see it as annoying, but outer headlights ON then "high beams" kicking on at 40-50% throttle is a pretty cool option that can be made to happen in single or double light buckets.

[@keyrclife]

Which one is better ? In this video or in E39 video that you make?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well... I like both but I use lots of these

[@Creativedriftlab]

Would it be possible to make this light kit or the tamiya light kit wireless? Meaning can you make a video and make this possible? There are other videos where they solder positive and negative wires to the magnetic post of the rc car!!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

yeah you could but given the number of leads you would need (headlight, markers, parking, reverse, turn, etc) it would be a total mess on the body mounts but still a great idea.

[@descontracao6566]

Thank you for that.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Sure thing!

[@rabbitsrcs]

I realize this is an older video and you may not read this, but I have bought 2 of these sets for my son's Rustler and my 4wd Slash VXL. I installed it on my son's Rustler and everything works great, however my slash has no brake lights or reverse lights. I switched controllers then y harnesses with same results. I came to the conclusion that my receiver is not sending throttle controls to engage lights. but my motor is still behaving normal with brakes and reverse features. Any suggestions on what I can do to get them to function properly? It does not appear that the light module is faulty due to it works in my son's Rustler as the first did. I have the tsm receiver, could that be messing with the controls? Any insight would be greatly appreciated thank you,

[@AMPROEngineering]

So these units are really, really cheaply made. That said, one of the most common issues I have seen is not with them but rather with the trims on the radios. If they are not centered for ch1 and 2 to start, they just wont work correctly. Start there but if they still wont work, try swapping them and see if they behave the same. As for the TSM, i have not tried them on that radio though as some point I should given I have 2 of them.

[@rabbitsrcs]

@@AMPROEngineering I have reset my throttle and steering zeroed out and same results. I even moved to headlights to the position that brightens when throttle is engaged and nothing happens. They remain dim under throttle and no brake lights. Sometimes the reverse, headlights and brake lights are all on bright so I believe that it is not getting the proper signals from the receiver. I just don't know how to fix it. It is still a cool light kit and I will just have to deal with the lights I do have working. It just has to be my receiver, I thank you for your fast response and insight on the issue. If you come across this issue again and find a solution please reach out to me with the resolution to this issue.

[@rabbitsrcs]

@@descontracao6566 I have not figured it out honestly, have been working on some of my crawlers lately

[@ClipDog]

I know this post is a few years old, I just purchased two of these kits, and put one in my Xmaxx, only function that works correctly is directionals. When i start plugging other lights in the module, my steering will twitch when I pull the throttle, can't get reverse lights and brake lights to function as intended no matter what I do?? I'm thinking maybe the 4s Xmaxx esc is too much for this little unit? I'm at a loss right now.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hmmm...so check what the receiver output is. It should be a standard 6-7.2 v. If you swap them, does the same thing happen? If not, then maybe the unit is bad. I have had one (not this one but a similar one) not have working reverse lights. These are super cheap and sadly, commonplace for something at this price point.

[@midnitejmpr9429]

Kind of a dumb question but will this thing work if its put on it’s own battery to just have the running lights on? (I’ve been having it interfere with my esc and didn’t like it)

[@AMPROEngineering]

No not dumb at all. Technically yes but it would not get inputs (obviously) and you would need a 6V source to both the ch1 and ch2.

[@midnitejmpr9429]

AMPRO Engineering AMPRO Engineering hey there just a follow up from my question and give to give you some information that might be helpful, after some tinkering I found out that plunging a 1.6v battery in backwards so that positive goes to positive and negative goes to the sensor wire will power the light up, just everything on full no blinkers or special effects, also it can do the same with plugging into a receivers accessory port if you have a male to male connector to connect it to receiver with the connection to the light controller backwards of course (also only using one of the included receiver spliters to go to ch1 and 2 on the controller)

[@ptalbany]

so how do you wire it if you have a BEC in line and you disconnected the power from the ESC ? I'll be darned if i can get it to work

[@AMPROEngineering]

Wow that is a fantastic question. I've never run anything with a BEC and this lighting kit.

It says in the documentation that it’s from “3racing.” It’s in the the first paragraph but not in bold or very clear. I just bought one myself and noticed it. Loved the video and it was very helpful. I hate that 50% brightness to full for headlights too!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I can't stand that.

[@richvpuckstoperx3055]

what type of replacement leds should i get 6v or 12v leds?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Neither. Most LED's are between 2 and 4v and need resistors to work with 5v and higher. You will need to measure the voltage and then use resistor to help burn off the extra. Check out e33 for what I am talking about.

Hi, I have a Jjrc q65 jeep, and I was thinking of putting this light kit on it. I can see it is using a splitter wire to connect with the steering and motor. However, I also want to put a dasmikro sound unit along with this light system. The sound unit also occupies the motor connection. Is it possible to get both these product fitted or I have to choose any one them?

I've just for the latest version of this light kit, and I am using it with Futaba R334SBS receiver and basically it doesn't work. I guess it's because the signal of the Futaba T-FHSS is so fast that it cannot be picked up by this kit. Any suggestions?

[@AMPROEngineering]

May have to do with the trims. If you have the rates too low then it's likely that this doesn't see the servo input.

What voltage were you supplying to this? I found this kit on Alibaba but it does not state what voltage. Most of the kits are 0-6V which will not work for me.

These are plugged right into the receiver battery port. Therefore they are 5-6V. I have not seen one for an RC car application that runs a high voltage but there may be something out there.

Is it possible tu turn on blinker ligths all the time.. without stearing?

[@AMPROEngineering]

No you cannot with these.

[@silverarrow7849]

Thanks for taking the time to review all these light kits. I was looking for this for a while and your video helped buy save money and time ! However in my case the reverse lights only switch on when I hit about 30% of the backward throttle. It is a bit annoying since it is not 100% realistic 😆 Do you have that as well ? Thanks !

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yes, usually this is a result of the trims being off-center. Make sure everything is in the center and that should do the trick. In some cases, I have seen issues with throttle reversal too but that has been dependent on the radio. I hope that helps!

[@silverarrow7849]

@@AMPROEngineering thanks for your reply ! I tried to play with the trim with no luck. It is probably a problem with the radio than. Just to help others having the same issue, the radio am using is a Radiolink RC6GS v2. If you are using the same radio the light kit won’t work as expected. Thanks

Hi my friend I got my light kit that you actually like in this video and you'll be happy to know that my numbers on the control unit are actually in the right configuration to the diagram I bought mine from AliExpress for $10 bucks

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh good to hear!

I think you can find them on ebay still.

[@johnnorth1187]

Can I use a 7.2 volt battery pack with this light kit

[@AMPROEngineering]

No, this runs off the of receiver power. They usually output 5-6V or so. The receiver needs to be powered from a speed control that usually uses the 7.2V battery.

[@taadventures6312]

Can you tell me what diameters the led lights are. I’m thought I heard somewhere they were 5mm for the large ones and 3mm for small ones. Thanks man

[@AMPROEngineering]

That is correct.

[@quadflopper1012]

same lighting kit i have in my slash which i only drive at night, and since the truck lights are the only lights i have to see at night and i didn't car about backup lights, i mounted the 5mm backup led's in front and plugged them into one of the aux you turn on with the dip switches so all the white led's are pointing forward, unfortunately 2 of the whites are dim until you accelerate but since i'm almost always full throttle they only go dim when i start the slide into a corner then i'm full throttle again. the other nice thing about the kit is there's no blue led's, why someone want blue led's on a car in the first is a mystery to me.....

[@AMPROEngineering]

Man... those blue LED's...I have no idea

[@Kev7274]

I actually received one of these units today. Everything is working,except the brakes. They are dimly lit,but when I hit the brake nothing happens. Can't get the reverse to work either. I adjusted trims,etc. Any ideas? If anybody has used this on the DumboRc with the X6FG receiver,Please let me know the outcome. Thanks

[@AMPROEngineering]

I always find that the trims need to be centered on the radio for these to work correctly.

[@Kev7274]

@@AMPROEngineering That was the issue. I had to adjust the trim ever so slightly,then it worked.

[@descontracao6566]

Unfortunately I can't make the braking and reverse functions to work with my TRX4 truck. Has anyone else gone through this?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Have you centered the trims? This is a big feature that is over looked. These need to have all trims as close to center as possible.

[@descontracao6566]

@@AMPROEngineering Yes, I have. didn't work though. Thanks anyway.

[@erikfernandez4494]

Great video! I ordered some after watching this video. One question though, how much voltage does your RC battery have? Cause the description for the lights says it has 4.8 - 6V input voltage and I got worried realizing I'll use these in an RC car with 7.4V battery.

[@AMPROEngineering]

The battery is not used to power this directly. It gets power from the receiver. They are between 5 and 6v

[@erikfernandez4494]

@@AMPROEngineering Cool! Nothing to worry now. Thanks for the info. Can't wait for mine to arrive!!!!

[@Jimreynoso]

I have this kit but I’m having trouble with the turn signal. One side is always flashing. Can’t get it to stop. Anyone have this problem?

[@AMPROEngineering]

You need to center the steering on the radio. Almost all of the trim needs to be done mechanically by adjusting the servo horn and tie rods.

[@Jimreynoso]

I removed the steering servo horn, tried adjusting the trim until the lights work properly and then install the horn back on the servo while centering the steering. Now I have no trim adjusting capability. Perhaps there’s a compatibility issue between my equipment. I am using the Flysky fs-gt3c

[@philfallaize7270]

hi AMPRO i know this kit says 2.4 ghz but do you think it will work with 27MHz/75MHz great videos as well

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hmmmm, Both of the cars I have this on are 75mhz and seem to be fine but there are so many factors that could lead to issues. I don't know why that would matter unless the unit can omit noise that would interfere with the receiver on an AM unit? Wish I knew more about this. Hope I helped a little.

[@philfallaize7270]

hi friend i see u order and will soon send u item out have a good day:) this was the answer i got for asking if it worked on 27 or 75 heheheheh we will see if it works when it gets here an you did help a little thank

They are hard to find since there is no brand to search. You sadly need to look at what the controller looks like and go from there. They do not make it easy.
