Yeh the Traxxas system is 3v and if your spotlights etc are 3v you can connect it into the Traxxas system 

If the lights you want to add are 5-7.4v you can use a Y lead of the receiver to power them 

I used a Y lead for my TRX4 for the front bumper mounted spots . In the trx6 a Y lead is used for the roof lights but is another plug to unplug if taking body right off

I also usually leave the wires long enough that i can take the body off and able to lay on its side for battery fitting/removal without unplugging

 

My bumper lights are off a y lead which didnt bother me as i dont have to disconnect it at all, i take it i would just tap into the wires for say the roof bar if i wanted side spot lamps (3v ones)?

If they are 3v then yeh could wire it into the traxxas  lights

@Stormbringer I know this is going to sound stupid and I feel stupid for asking but finely fitted the new esc/motor bloody brilliant it is to but I have the program box is it the v1 or v2 chart card thing I use to set up the ESC thing I’ve been looking and using the v1 side only realised there’s the v2 on the back of the program box 🤣

 

hope all that makes sense can’t be bothered to pug it all back up to find out 🤣

Hmm

mine didnt come with the program box but it did come with a sticker to put on the box

the sticker just says 

quicrun fusion pro

and theres 13 items on it and i just stuck it onto a spare program box i had as we have a few kicking about from various hobbywing esc's

Having said that isnt it the V2 we have ?

This is the box i used and i used included sticker on it

Well I need a new servo as it smoked it’s self this evening 🙄 think is been on it’s way out for a bit as it was getting weaker every time I used it any recommendations? don't mind pay for a decent one as the trx4 is quite heavy at the front needs to be as powerful as possible
