It's an easy install for the Traxxas LED light kit on the TRX4 K10 Pickup High Trail Edition! I walk through the steps I took to install this kit and show some quick footage of the results!
When it says to put it through the receiver box, it means that small box to the side of the receiver box. you should thread it through that small hole and then wire it to the receiver. its a very tight fit but if you move the other wires to the side, it'll go in at a weird angle. But, that rubber piece is just in case you needed quick access to hit the button on the receiver so that you could connect a new transmitter/remote. I have the f150 high trail, so I understand the struggles lol
I think I'd rig up a micro servo to run a switch off a spare channel so you could use the transmitter to on/off the lights. It takes away from the effect and fun if you can remotely operate the lights. Is this possible just by setting on/ off end points with a non RTR 4 channel set up?
When I put my lights in I thought I had a complete kit but you don't get a complete kit the lights won't dim or brighten or turn off so thinking the Traxxas link would do that I purchase a Traxxas link they still don't work so then I'm told I have to buy a power module to get them to work properly by the time you get through you've spent well over $100 it's just not worth it
I’m happy with the basic functionality of these lights. This kit makes them work, but if you want to dim you need to remove the jumper and to turn them off just refrain from plugging them in. These were $55 I believe.
Why do we say "Allen wrench " but also call the corresponding fastener "hex" . Random thought as I was watching. I just got the High Trail F150 in Brown. Going to search for the light kit now. Thank you for making this video and sharing it.
Traxxas 8038, I think you could just plug the rock lights into this power block as well, note that this setup doesn’t have any remote/radio switch ability.
