Magico 69 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi! I am new to R/C World and this forum and need your help. I’ve just bought Axial SMT10 Grave Digger for my little one. It’s updated model. I’d like to install front led lights on it, I assume it’s only Traxxas that made chrome led fittings for their retired Grave Digger body and there’s no other options on the market? As I am totally new to this, can you advise if I need anything else to make it work on Axial Grave Digger? I just want a simple set up- 2 red lights with on/off switch as the truck only comes with 2 channel radio anyway. Would this plug into ESC or battery and do I need any adapters or controllers? Thanks a lot guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 What about these they are 5mm LEDs and come with chromed holders ? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/?products[query]=fast199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magico 69 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thank you for your reply! Oh yeah, much cheaper and should do the job well! How do I connect them? Do I need any control modules, splitters, adapters, etc? Do they connect straight to Dynamite 60A ESC or LiPo battery? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 yeah if you have a spare channel on your RX ( reciever) Magico you can run leds off that i do that on my truggy soon as the cars powered up they stay on etc alot cheaper than the light kits tbf but you said 2 channel which would be steering and throttle etc another way round it is powered by a little 9v battery ie duracell they do them on ebay with built in on/off switched 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magico 69 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thank you for your reply Bajadre! So the LEDs would be plugged into received and power would be supplied that way, that’s interesting! If that’s the case I might invest in 3 channel receiver then and do it properly! Kind Regards, Magico! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 there should be 3 ports on rx channel 1 channel 2 and either bind or battery it can just plug straight in there if you use a 3 channel rx then you can plug em straight in ch3 and lights on all time model is powered or get a switch unit and switch them on off from tx we use those lights on 2 channel rx,s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
