You don't have to cut the styrofoam. You slide the lights through the channel in the foam. If it won't slide easily then take us very small zip tie and push the zip tie partially through. Then slide the LEDs through the channel on top of part of the zip tie. That keeps the LEDs from getting hung up on something. If you don't have small zip ties then use a twist tie. I've seen one person use a twist tie with a small amount of tape on the LED to help pull it through. But you may not need to do that.
What an amazing RC toy! Good job E-flite. 1:3 Good time to make sure the motors have lubrication... would really like to see some real world tests done on available oils for small electric motors now and suspect for these motors without bearings the old 3in1 petroleum tech will work fine but wonder how some of the Teflon synthetics or AMS Oil would compare. I've been using the old standby 3in1 and so far so good without any binding like some have reported. Can't say mine had much lubrication to start with when pulled apart inside a clear plastic bag to avoid losing the C clip... only takes a couple of minutes unlike getting to the motors. I used thinned down ShoeGoo for installing the light strips resulting in adding almost no glue weight and also for the motor cover inner sides done so they can be removed using Toluene through the outside seam but adding more strength than tape alone on the outside. With a center support added in the air intake and a few other simple mods the UMX Ultrix body is just about unbreakable with a 600mAh battery.
Very Nice Install, Simple
Love my Ultrix 600. It can do anything. The smaller version is great for indoors

Lights, Camera, Action! Love that they are adapting lights to these models. 👍👍😊
I have the 600, they do have the light kit available now. Good vid as always, thank you.

Unlike the props I should add....
How do you set up your Spektrum transmitter, so you can switch between all the different light patterns? Thanks, John Columbus, IN.
It is set up by default on aux 2
