Traxxas Pro scale light kit (FAIL)

[@Fatt_Tony]

I'm super pissed off about the light kit. I installed everything per the instructions and soon as I plugged in my battery the link cable blue wire glowed and burned out my receiver. I don't know what went wrong. Now I'm afraid to replace it and try again

Hi can any one explain to me how to hook up a Castle Creations 2.0 to steering aftermarket servo while using a special harness, don't understand how,2.0 has two wires that go into radio not sure if you use both Kevin

Small bit of extra information: I bought the standalone Pro Scale Lighting Kit (and the correct installation kit for my body) and the standalone Pro Scale Lighting Kit came with the receiver communications cable. FWIW; the problem that the uploader has seems to only exist on the 2020 Bronco, not on any of the other kits.

I like Traxxas products but they are the Apple of RC. They like their proprietary components.

Fab body work man. Great video.

I run a hobbywing fusion 2in1 1200kv and am looking for an answer as well.

[@chololatin]

How much voltage are you running from the mamba esc?

The supplied jumper (cable bridge) must be inserted into slot F -. Instructions - page 1 F - DISTRIBUTION BLOCK LED LIGHT HARNESS PORTS Rear integrated turn signal !!!! jumper !!!!!

Would the light kit still function (cycle theough the high/low beam, DRL and hazard function) if you eliminated the Maxx Link cable all together and didn’t replace it with the receiver communication cable? I know you won’t get reverse lights and turn signals for sure but I’m not too worried about that.

[@IDEALRC]

yes that's pretty much the way i have mine setup we have all of the things work , but the reverse lights , sometimes they work sometimes not ,but all the other functions works

[@Crawler-Cars]

Van you explain How it works with a spektrum dx5, my drl works but i ganz switch through the modes

[@Esteb858]

@@Crawler-Cars you will need to get the receiver communications cable directly from Traxxas since it’s not sold separately.

[@Crawler-Cars]

@@Esteb858 in the description i have to put the wire in ch.1 on the reciver(Traxxas reciver has 2x Ch.1) Bit the Spektrum reciver has only one ch1 port. Do you know what i mean

[@Esteb858]

@@Crawler-Cars so there are 2 sets of connectors, 1 has 3 wires to it that I plugged into any extra channel i had on the receiver then the other one with just 1 single blue wire correct, you can leave that unplugged cause it’s for the light module to know when you’re turning the wheel for turn signals. If that’s important to you then you’ll need to splice it into your steering servo connector

[@Glenn.J]

Where did you get the roll cage from, is it 3D printed?

[@IDEALRC]

Roll cage is from an Axial 10.3 jlu

[@Glenn.J]

@@IDEALRC great thanks

[@quadkrazykeith]

Will the kit work with a brushless system as long as it has a 6v bec using stock radio?

[@IDEALRC]

yeah it should work with that setup

[@FredrikOlesen]

Yes…. But with other Reciver then Light kit Will Only have positions Light🤷🏽‍♂️
