![]() ![]() ![]() Slide heat shrink tubing over one of the wires and Solder them together. The second red wire connects to the power wire for the lights. Now reinsert the power terminal into the connector. I like to remove the power terminal from the ESC battery connector, then solder the red wire of the receiver switch to it. One of those red wires gets connected to the power wire for the battery. There are two red wires on one end of the switch. Remove the receiver box cover to gain access to the receiver. The receiver switch gets wired in between the power wire on the ESC to the battery and the receiver and lights, as follows: To use this set up you need a 3 channel radio, a receiver controlled switch, RC lighting, a soldering iron with solder, shrink wrap and of course your RC vehicle. However, I am sure it will work on any model, as long as there is a 3 channel transmitter radio available for that manufacturer model. I have not tried this set up on other models. The receiver controlled switch is the most complex set up but, it is the most convenient of all. This way you can run your vehicle in the day without the lights on wearing down the battery, Then when night falls, just flip on the switch and your RC will light the way. Now when you plug in the battery and turn on your RC, the lights will only come on when you turn the toggle switch on and go off when you turn the switch off. Re-check your connections and wire routing to make sure they are free from any and all moving parts. Take the plug from the lights and connect them to the other end of the toggle switch. Remove the receiver cover, Now take your toggle switch and fish the one end through the cover slot and plug it into the receiver (i use channel 3). Get your lights all mounted and wires ran and secured. This way allows you to turn the RC lighting on and off as you wish, separately from your vehicle, as long as your vehicle is turned on. Using the toggle switch connection is very similar to the direct connection. When you turn off your vehicle, the lights will turn off as well. That is it! Now when you plug your battery in and turn your RC vehicle on, the lights will automatically come on also. Reinstall receiver cover and recheck all wires and connectors that they are secure and not obstructing anything. Usually channel 3, however channels 4 and 5 will work as well. Make sure all wires and fasteners are free from moving parts!Īfter the lights are installed and the wires are secured, Remove the receiver cover to access the receiver. Run the wiring along the chassis using cable ties or double sided tape to secure the wires in place. ![]() Once you have your light mounts made, installed and ready for your lights, you want to get your lights put in the mounts and be sure they are secured. This happens to be the quickest and simplest way to install and run your new LED RC Lights. ![]() The first way to hook up rc lights that I will explain is the direct connection. Let’s look at how to install RC Lights on your own RC vehicles. There are three (3) ways you can set them up on your RC vehicles. There are lots of different LED light kits and options available.
