    I watched all of your light kit videos and want you to know I actually ordered each kit so I could follow along! 😆
    I LOVE your videos and the time you took to figure out the features and how to get them to work.
    The car I spent the most time "making pretty" is my TT-02 Motul Autech Gt-R R35. I even used Traxxas Ford GT rear lights to make my R35 taillights look accurate and used resistors to make them work correctly with this light kit. This light kit seemed to work the best and matched up approximately with the lights I wanted to use and how I wanted them to operate.
    I ABSOLUTELY MUST THANK YOU "THAAANNNK YOU!" (you have been thanked, 😆)! Because I would have NEVER had the time to figure out all of these light kits and find the right one for each car. You made it possible for me to bring a level of realism to my cars I really wanted to see. Now i can drive my cars during cooler summer nights and look good doing it! Thanx again!!!!!!

      actually was originally looking at the Axial Night Vision System for $99.99 no offense to axial but WAY overpriced and overbuilt for my needs, thanks to you i found an affordable alternative. I bought 2 of the 12 led flashing system in case one burns out, and that still cost less than 1/3 of the axial unit, i want buy some retro Re-releases and with the cost of this kit i can light up all the RC's i want, if only my Tyco Turbo Hopper was hobby grade i would light it up as well but i will have to wait until i can get a Hornet Re-release so i won't feel bad about driving a classic around in the dirt and i won't have to chop up my beloved hopper

    hi there, really enjoyed your lighting video's.
    I thought I'd get myself a set of these lights, so I searched eBay, but to no avail, just couldn't find them. now at the minute I'm building a tamiya globe liner rig and I put all the bits and pieces in the box. RC4WD motor, bearings, extra gears to lock the diffs, off road tyres, light kit, servos etc. so I got her built, painted the body, lifted the light kit, and guess what, it's the rc car flashing light kit. lol I've had it for a year or more, go figure. the more I thought about it the more I laughed about it. my light kit doesn't have the dip switches and the box is blue. so gonna wire it up tomorrow.
    well, great vids as usual, lookin forward to the next one. 😀 👍 👍

    Thank you for that amazing video, I just get the Tamiya Audi Quattro A2 that need 16 light to cover the need of the model. Height of those light are the front white lights. So my question is, can I add two more light in the empty J2 and J3? This way, I will have 4 lights always open in J7 and J8 and forward lights in J2 and J3?
    That will solve the issue of missing light.
    Thank you in advance.

    @silverarrow7849 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for taking the time to review all these light kits. I was looking for this for a while and your video helped buy save money and time ! However in my case the reverse lights only switch on when I hit about 30% of the backward throttle. It is a bit annoying since it is not 100% realistic 😆 Do you have that as well ? Thanks !

    • @AMPROEngineering
      @AMPROEngineering  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, usually this is a result of the trims being off-center. Make sure everything is in the center and that should do the trick. In some cases, I have seen issues with throttle reversal too but that has been dependent on the radio. I hope that helps!

    • @silverarrow7849
      @silverarrow7849 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AMPROEngineering thanks for your reply ! I tried to play with the trim with no luck. It is probably a problem with the radio than. Just to help others having the same issue, the radio am using is a Radiolink RC6GS v2. If you are using the same radio the light kit won’t work as expected. Thanks

      Man I wish I could help but I have no clue about motor programming. I think that it has more to do with the radio trims. Have you adjusted those? I know mine need to have adequate travel for them to work. 2.4GHz I assume?

    Great video! I ordered some after watching this video. One question though, how much voltage does your RC battery have? Cause the description for the lights says it has 4.8 - 6V input voltage and I got worried realizing I'll use these in an RC car with 7.4V battery.

      Neither. Most LED's are between 2 and 4v and need resistors to work with 5v and higher. You will need to measure the voltage and then use resistor to help burn off the extra. Check out e33 for what I am talking about.

    I know this post is a few years old, I just purchased two of these kits, and put one in my Xmaxx, only function that works correctly is directionals. When i start plugging other lights in the module, my steering will twitch when I pull the throttle, can't get reverse lights and brake lights to function as intended no matter what I do?? I'm thinking maybe the 4s Xmaxx esc is too much for this little unit? I'm at a loss right now.

    • @AMPROEngineering

      Hmmm...so check what the receiver output is. It should be a standard 6-7.2 v. If you swap them, does the same thing happen? If not, then maybe the unit is bad. I have had one (not this one but a similar one) not have working reverse lights. These are super cheap and sadly, commonplace for something at this price point.

      So these units are really, really cheaply made. That said, one of the most common issues I have seen is not with them but rather with the trims on the radios. If they are not centered for ch1 and 2 to start, they just wont work correctly. Start there but if they still wont work, try swapping them and see if they behave the same. As for the TSM, i have not tried them on that radio though as some point I should given I have 2 of them.
