wolfie1 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) My 45mm wheels for the mug slinger xl tyres that i have been waiting for arrived today, so got them all fitted up and installed today, i am rather pleased with the result, gave it a quick run in the house and does not rub at all thankfully, mud flaps i fitted may have to come off though as they did catch on the treads but that may just of been as the car was sitting on them without wheels and misshaped them a bit, will get it outside later and find out, but so far so good 🙂 The air filled tyres i fitted are great on tar and gravel but not so much on the more technical stuff, rubber is too hard Edited May 4, 2023 by wolfie1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 You could do something like mine either with a short lightbar or a pair of spot lamps all i did was drill 2 holes down through the bumper top bar and attached the spotlights Heres a link to the spots , the covers just clip on or unclip off https://www.amazon.co.uk/AXspeed-Metal-Round-Light-Tamiya/dp/B08R8F7N9J/ref=sr_1_7?content-id=amzn1.sym.8bed1630-c171-4184-aba5-160dcd52e827%3Aamzn1.sym.8bed1630-c171-4184-aba5-160dcd52e827&keywords=1%2F10%2Brc%2Bcar%2Baccessories&pd_rd_r=feac5dbd-6bbb-427c-a51a-4a42a1515321&pd_rd_w=nPOul&pd_rd_wg=vsbFn&pf_rd_p=8bed1630-c171-4184-aba5-160dcd52e827&pf_rd_r=8XSVYK6F5HTEQT392RQ0&qid=1683318202&sr=8-7&th=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 How do you guys wire up the other spot lights to the roof, do you just have an extra plug to plug/unplug or you wiring it into the existing lighting system? The reason i ask is im using the traxxas system and i believe its a 3v system and would like to do wire it to that, i love the side spots on that Bigfoot Land Rover and want to do that.

Stormbringer Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 What’s the brightest light bar available? I want a stupid bright one for the roof so much so that you would need sun glasses to look at it 😎 would be powered of a separate 3s lipo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 the 1's i linked to are pretty bright but whether they are stupid bright i dont know They are only 7.4v as well so a bit of googling might be involved for what you want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
