I agree! I just took my front fenders off and realized it would be a multi-hour event so decided to just put it back together and forgo the whole thing for the time being. I'd rather just have fun than go through this.
Hey how about a 50% rebate for sending in a picture of the kit installed, it was simple and straight forward but dang it took a while. And why the heck does the link module not control the kit. I mean honestly why run a cord to the reciever at all. there is not reverse lights and the brake lights dont get brighter when you slow down so why bother? Please correct me if im wrong. Its 90 bucks for 2 strings of lights and a light bar. They look great but should only cost about 40 tops.
I have the trx4 sport with the expedition rack and bought the led light bar #8087 and the power supply #8028, but at the led light bar there are 2 harness , one with two wires ( black and blue) and other with just 1 wire (black) . I connect the harness with 2 wires to the power supply and the led light works , but I dont know where to connect the other harness with just 1 wire.
I installed the Traxxas kit 8095 which I believe is slightly different than the one installed on this video…I still went ahead and followed the instructions in this video but when connecting everything at the end, it worked with the exception of the rock lights…not sure why…too bad you guys don’t have specific video of the 8095 kit install.
No where, here or on the website does it say if this kit give brake and reverse lights? The bloke at Traxxas support said he couldn't answer that question... DOES ANYONE KNOW?????
The LED lighting module that the wiring plugs into is not water proof. What is the point if once it hits water it is going to short out and now i'm out $100?
7 лет назад
Look the website, there is : Wateproof on EACH image of the products
I have to respectfully disagree. Watch the video at 6:11. There is a completely open and exposed connector terminal. It will short when exposed to water.
How can an official Traxxas video show putting the rock lights in backwards .... the cables should exit the lights towards the outside of the fender so you can tie them to the strap points
Im here 6 years later, my lights kits is Traxxas 8095, Are these roughly the same instructions?? I search for a guide, it always bring me to older ones...
Hi, i am new too and will also buy the 8095. Did you figure it out yet? And can you tell me what the differences are with the set in this video? Thanks in advance!
@@Keyser_Soze739 i did'nt chance doing it myself and messing it up, so i took it to a local model shop and got guy to fit them for me, (£30).. They do look class on it...Sorry can't offer anymore info.
THIS is just about why i'm hating this hobby so much! I have two TRX-4 High Trail Editions and anytime you see a cool looking mod, there's almost zero explaination with it! So once you have the lighting installed, is the body permanently attached to the chassis? Is there a connector? Where is the on and off switch? NONE of these things are shown!!!! Bullsh*t video once again😡
@@sgthulk9I Did manage to get mine installed by someone, yes you can remove body, there is a little lead coming from light with a connector, which u plug into your car port, you just need to be careful wen remove body just enough to unplug it. Then can fully remove it..
So I have the light kit installed and wanted to use my trx4 during the day so I unplugged it, let my buddy use it and he ripped the connector from the distribution block to plug in. I don’t know what I should do considering I spent $70 on them and used the lights for maybe 10 minutes. Any helpful feedback would be appreciated thanks in advance!
I wonder how much time we’ll have to wait for the release of the light kit for the Ford Bronco. I already installed the power module and rock lights, just waiting for the headlights/taillights/side marker lights.
Just got the orange one for christmas and the lights, the hex head screw for the front light stripped.... now i cant remove the plastic fake head lights with out drilling the screw out? Not great build to fit the lights hmmm
I recommend to everyone looking for a trx4 light kit to purchase this, I switched from the my trick rc dg1 and this traxxas kit is so much easier to install, no trimming, sanding, or painting
There‘s absolutely nothing easy here. The video and the included paper manual are different but you can‘t do this with the one-sheet-instruction only so you check that video and realise after finishing that even the recommended sides for the wiring are vice-versa.
Hi traxxas what i understand this new kit should be waterproof, but the box you install to the chassi and the wirering /connectors in the body dont look watterproof?
7 лет назад
Look the website, there : Wateproof on EACH image of the products
No it doesn’t have any brake lights or turn signals all the lights look great when they work but I must’ve got a few faulty connectors. Anytime I move the cable the rock lights or light bar goes out.
Everybody just be careful when you purchase kit 8095, the connection of light bar is slightly different it took me a while. You need to use hte small reduction to connect crawling lights and light bar correctly to the module, Other than that great guide.
I wanted to know if I could switch the lights on/off via the receiver (otherwise why the wire to the receiver) I've gone through every comment, Many questions and not one reply from Traxxas support! I for one will not be buying this kit.
Yea, I bought the light bar to mount on my sport and nowhere did it say I needed the module so now have a usless light bar. It's stupid and obviously just a ploy to make the consumer spend more $ . One light system SHOULD be able to plug straight into the stock esc! To not come with lights on the rtr is one thing but forcing us to buy even more parts really put me off. The trx4 sport was my first traxxas purchase and this practice from them has really turned me off of the company, I think I will explore the many other trail truck RCs in the future.
My light kit works well. Of course one wire comes down and plugs into the transmitter box with the rest of them exposed, is this what you call water proof technology? If I knew that the signals didn't work and no backing lights. I would have taken my chance with a different kit. $100 bucks for this kit. Seriously, Traxxas! How freaking greedy can you get? I would have bought after market with this no functionality light kit.

Agree! For the price you pay, I believe this should have been standard equipment like the Cross RC Demon FR4 RTR. (Which sells at a lower price)
Couldnt agree more!!!
Good video......now all I need is a TRX4
Lol same
they are worth the money
This video is spot on I just followed it to install my light kit went so well no problems at all
Thank u

Yea I don't understand why they run the wire to the RX module - whats the point?
@@thejason51873 The point is $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Can you turn on and of the lights or do they have to be on the whole time your using it?
This video help me a lot, thanks... Now can you tell me what else I need to dime the lights?
So if it’s getting its power from the ESC why does it need to also be plugged into the receiver?
Great now I've got two things in my shopping list the traxxas RC Land Rover defender and now some cool lights.👍👍👍👍👍👍😏💷💷💷
Thankyou Traxxas support

It sucks that the screws strip after 2 times
What do I connect black wire on module to esc if it's a quicrun 1080wp esc how do i go about that
My TRX4 has a different ESC and does not have the red wire coming out of it to connect the black wire from the module. So now what?
Thank you so much for this video. Loving the new lights. Albeit wish they had more features in the way of changing when turning and braking etc.
Yeah I'm thinking of using my Tamiya lighting kits in my TRX4, it has turn signals and brake lights all actuated with the receiver.
@@EZRIDER327 why not the pro scale lighting kit?
Best building guide ever, slow and clear👍👍👍🥇
oh, it looks so nice on my trx4.. thanks traxxas for your best videos :-)

it can ! I agree
mobgma no it will not how do you think motors work when brushes are submerged there is not enough voltage or current for the high resistance of water
Do you need a 3m1 wiring harness for all the light to be connected to the lighting module or can you just plug it in without the 3m1 harness
I got fsc motor and i need to remove my esc where i should plug it the wire came from esc?

Can we buy the TRX-4 with the led light fixed on the the truck cause I don't really know and understand how to fix it . PLEASE REPLY .
Did exactly as explained and my LED module started smoking after I turned the vehicle off. Lights were not plugged into the module yet.
What is the voltage output from the esc to operate the power supply?
I wonder how much time we’ll have to wait for the release of the light kit for the Ford Bronco. I already installed the power module and rock lights, just waiting for the headlights/taillights/side marker lights.
so does it have functional brake and reverse lights? or is it just like any other light kit on the market?
Dean Du Plessis yeah I wanna know as well
Dean Du Plessis yes
As far as I have been able to find it has no brake or reverse lighting. Really disappointing for that price.
I got the (common sense RC) light kit I has brake and reverse
I was watching in the video when it was being driven and it looked like it did have a functional reverse light.
Hello Traxxas. How do I hook it up if I already have a cooling fan in the red ESC plug ? Thanks !
Can you do led lights for a stampede vxl please I know traxxas can do it
Just got the orange one for christmas and the lights, the hex head screw for the front light stripped.... now i cant remove the plastic fake head lights with out drilling the screw out? Not great build to fit the lights hmmm
In order that LED is turned off, does it have the way in which I remove Jack?
Does having the lights on lower the battery life
A little most wouldn't be able to tell a difference as it's very minimal. Maybe 2 of 60min

Was gonna buy that one. Was a bit miffed that I bought the wrong one but this comment is making me feel like I made the better choice
There‘s absolutely nothing easy here. The video and the included paper manual are different but you can‘t do this with the one-sheet-instruction only so you check that video and realise after finishing that even the recommended sides for the wiring are vice-versa.
Is it possible to install the head and tail lights on the tactical unit aswell?

by waterproof, they mean splash proof
I've destroyed cars before that are so-called waterproof, so....
Some guys think that “waterproof” means that the truck can also be used as a submarine.

is this light system waterproof?
do you know if its waterproof yet?
no information how to connect distribution box :(
These lights are waterproof ???
is it on/off or always turn on?
Can u show how to install the lights on the sport
Not made for the sport. But can be done if your handy enough to modify.
No it doesn’t have any brake lights or turn signals all the lights look great when they work but I must’ve got a few faulty connectors. Anytime I move the cable the rock lights or light bar goes out.
AMT99100 u need a bigger battery mabye.
Rc Basher found out the problem thankfully. It was just the prongs not making contact to connector so I put grease on them and it works perfect now.👌🏻
are the light kits waterproof? if not can they be?
Is this comparable with Tex 4 sport
Can it go on the bronco body?
is this waterproof?

No power amplifier??
What happens when your gonna go driving during the day and u don’t want the lights on but your gonna go in water
I would take the plug out and tape a small bag around the plug so that it doest get wet
Ok thx
This is a Traxxas fail for that, So my Traxxas TRX4 defender has remote activated diff locks, cruise control , but no way to turn lights on and off.
EZRIDER327 it would have been nice. Even if you need to use the traxxas link app, to be able to turn them off
best lighting system!
What does the back look like why does it plug into the ESC why doesn’t the kit use all three lights on the front
Ecx fan Slash but if you hook up a 3s lipo they get 11.1v instead of 6v I rewired mine because of that
But is it still waterproof/resistant
Yes

Hello, traxxas. I have a Bronco light kit, and I want to buy the light bar. Is it compatible to supply power into light kit bronco?
what is the red-wire on ch1 for?
And need i replace servo from ch 1 to ch 1?
Concise directions! My steps will be easier because I do NOT like the rock lights. They seem so teenager'esque.
is the light sistem waterproof because then you could have the abillaty to drive throw water still
Whats the output (Volt) of the box ?
read it was only 3v
Thank you very much, for this video. 5*****
What kind of tape do you use to hold the wire in place
Are they waterproof?
Adrean Shimov Yes, on the traxxas site it says so
How much is this light kit?
Traxxas Driver Pro 101, you can get this kit (TRA8030) for nearly $90 from a few sellers on eBay.
