Inexpensive Scale RC Truck and Car lights - Review and Operation

[@JasonRNye]

Thank you, Kindly!!! Very straight forward and explanative. I have talked to over a dozen techies and RC enthusiasts, and the most common thing I see and hear is self entitled people. Knowledge is POWER!!!!!! So I have to assume then, when someones trying to learn and they are willing to break comfort levels to ask questions, the best response is to answer it in a fashion relevant to this mans explanation. Instead of, well each person is different, you'll have to just tinker around until you find what you like. NO NO NO, How about you show the love for what your doing by teaching step by steps in ways that everyone can understand and spread that joy and love to others. AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE. I will subscribe to this mans channel in hopes for more education. My children and I love these different things and have bonded well over it. Like any parent, I don't want to lose my bond because of a lack of education. I want them to see and know, that what you lack you can make up with dedication and education, AND a little elbow grease. Sincerely, Sir Thank You!

Thank you for making this video. It was exactly what I needed to know. The link for eBay was great too

[@yceer]

WOW! Great well spoken video very ez to follow Thank You

[@adamross4774]

Loved your character in Turbo... 👏👏👏 Well Done Sir!

[@leirameirarc]

Thank you for this educational video. I just bought my first LED lights set and it only had 2 channels. Now I know what the 3rd channel could offer, for future purchases. My G.T Power kit came in a box and everything had to be connected manually. This kit you bought is already assembled and ready, and has 3 channels, a much better purchase imo and I will surely buy a few of those in the future.

[@MarcRCAddict]

I bought one of these but it was not very good for me, it stopped my steering servos from operating until I removed the light system from my receiver and esc..

[@AntonioL1011]

Hi Bob Great Video and thanks for all the build video's, love them . I am interested in doing Wireless lights on my trailer , but for some reason I'm having a problem . First i tried to do the bind with the Flysky i6s that came with my Grand Hauler. So i figured that maybe that the Radio is not capable of running 2 receivers, so i figured since the FS radio is not expensive that id buy the Radio that you're demonstrating in this video the FS-i6 . I followed your instructions which is very simple , but somehow i cannot get the 2 of the receivers to bind and work together, it's either one or the other. I have tried even doing them at the same time and I'm having no luck at all

[@petemarchi5112]

I am going to go get one. Do you need to run lipo or not.

[@jelynhaygood6103]

awesome video very informative I will be order these same light kits. best ones by far that I have seen

[@shawnbyrnesrccrawlersrccra2911]

I subbed to your channel...and that was so easy to understand then other videos i just got my set and about to set it up in my redcat gen 8

[@nemocheerio]

Thanks for this video. So it looks like the "brake lights" are actually reverse lights since they come on when you hit reverse and the "Blue lights" are the actual brake lights cause they are always on unless you are going forward or reversing.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I find the brake lights work fine in actual use because when I just tap reverse a bit the go on and stay on. I do like your idea of using the blue light channel for brakes, might try it out.

[@csi1392]

PERFECT FOR BUILDING A 60S HOT ROD BLUE DOTS THAT MAKE THE TAILIGHTS PURPLE WERE REAL POPULAR

[@ahoyskid]

I swapped the LEDs so the red are brake lights & used just a single blue offset for reverse

[@alexgti79]

Great work, thank you!!!

[@musoseven8218]

Thanks, I was wondering how those lighting kits worked, or if they worked?! Great video.

[@Veganarchy-Zetetic]

I am finding the wires to be way too short, now I have to cut them and lengthen them with electrical tape. Pain in the butt.

[@musoseven8218]

@@Veganarchy-Zetetic Hi! That's a very good point - thanks, I figured this out last night too (oh f@$#ing Hell!). They work well - if quality control is okay (sometimes it ain't) - but the leads wouldn't be long enough for my Land Rover body and/or chassis. Also some functions are annoying, Eg indicator function, should be on a Ch4 type two way switch IMHO (who indicates when off roading and every time that they turn the steering wheel). I'm going to try and buy some for a larger off roader (1/7th scale) and see if they'll fit better. But I've no clue exactly how they work, buying blind! At £10.00 though it's worth a risk. Real Tamiya sets (those in the video here are CCP fakes), are awesome, so are one or twp other brands, but at £70-120, with up to 30 lights? Overkill for a 1/10 rock crawler. Shame there wasn't something, mid range, made with decent wire lengths, decent quality, sensible functions for 1/10 models that didn't involve the CCP! Eg at £30-40 or $30-40? Oh well, this set is another false hope product from China, with iffy build quality, faux name tag and doesn't quite work/isn't plug and play for a popular scale (1/10 RC Rock Crawlers) - more madness descends upon the world LOL!

[@ahoyskid]

can you make the back light ( red ) to be on all the time like the front head lights ?

[@tcvideos165]

Thank you for the video. I have connected as instructed. The reverse is not working?

[@71dazgee]

This is just what I needed, thanks. I do have a question or two though. Do are these with a JST plug or is there a way to convert/connect them? Im trying to fit more lights on a WPL B36 and the Res V3 only has JSTs. Thanks in advance.

[@williamburgess4732]

Many thanks for your videos great. I went buy last of lights but they say the lights are for 1/0 or 1/8 scale.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Lights are lights - every model I have ever seen uses 3mm or 5mm led's.

[@vinnygallagher7771]

Bob, what would you use to do underlights on a Grand Hauler as well as underlights on the trailer. bulb style or LED strip?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I use 3mm led's in the bottom of the frame.

[@agustriyono8100]

This is what I need, so I still can use stock lamp system with different Trx and rx (4ch) , , Tq so much . .

[@bigwhop136]

Great video but there is no link to buy them. Can you please tell me where i can find this

[@NetVoyagerOne]

Does one of these exist for 1/24 scale cars?

[@ramonbmovies]

What if you want to have the fog light switchable and separate from switchable headlights? So, manually turn on the fog lights and manually turn off the headlights? Assume having a controller w/ 5 or 6 channels.

Thank you! Nice video it helped me out. I’m having one problem. I have the same light kit you have but my brake lights only work when the car is in full acceleration. They don’t turn on when braking. Any help would be appreciated sir.

[@mitchthomsen5058]

So then do you just use 5mm led holders to keep them in place or what do you use?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I use Micro Crystal Clear to glue LED's. Usually just make up any holders I need with styrene plastic.

[@lifestar5]

Hi Bob....Great site you are a great modeller ....love all your projects ...just wanted to know how to take the slop out of my tamiya lunchbox steering .......i thought about taking the servo saver off ......but will that damage the servo if i drive over rough ground many thanks Graham

[@jesusmata9565]

How do you call the light harness that connect to the port?

[@jbalia1]

Question can this unit be use To hook up led red white and blue lights under the bed of a trailer and make them flash

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It works good for trailer lights but not really flashing. It does have a display mode that flashes some of the lights when no radio signal is received so I suppose you could use it as a flasher by not hooking it to a radio but I would do it some other way.

[@BlackTownie999]

Is there a way to add back up lights with this?

[@yaffajaff]

Is is possible to switch them ALL off from channel 3? I'm looking for a light control box that can toggle on one set of LEDs, then another set, then all off. Is this kit capable of doing that?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Not sure but do not think so. This is a better way to switch Led's: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIm2ZGCumrt7nbc

Hi. Do you know can i connect the dound system to this light module.

[@ReezLah.]

Just a question.. can I plug the channel 3 in my receiver on channel 4? Cause channel 3 is being used for gyro.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes. You can plug it anywhere, just make sure you have a switch assigned so you can activate the lights.

[@krissfly]

I put this in my RC4wd Toyota and hot glued it to the bottom of the body. So when I pull the body I just unplug at the receiver. I will probably put a set in bruiser clone. I like your idea for the fog lights I just removed those lights. I will definitely try that thanks

[@elbutchos]

Hi. Does it work with a Y splitter from any channel ? (receiver -> y splitter -> 1 end servo, 1 end light kit ) I would like to avoid the Light Kit to power my servo.

[@fernandocabral6193]

Do you know the size of the 2 pin jst on the end of the light strands

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I do not, but they give you enough lights that you should not need any.

@@HobbyconceptsLLC yes I know I wanna know cause I have lights with the wrong connector and no connector that I would like to replace the ones that are wrong and the ones with no connector but I did find out the size fro My Trick RC the jst connector on the light strands are 2mm if you'd like to know but thank you anyway and by the way that fake Tamiya unit you have is junk there's much better and cheap also I buy mine from AliExpress the reason I don't like the Tamiya unit is that other units give you Y connectors that you can plug into and can be easily unplugged and you can mount the unit to your body with the Tamiya unit you can't do that you have to mount it to the frame etc
