Lights for the X-Maxx?

[Maxxnutt69]

Seen this on ebay.

Has anyone tried these yet?

[jrio1014712]

I was also looking at those. Wondering if the wire is long enough?

[Wolfslash16]

I've tried kits like that in the past. They are typically not waterproof, and they pop out of the body if it flexes, or at least mine did.

[MaxxPain]

Another option if you want to use a 3rd channel to turn them on or off. Requires 3 position switch for this version "Dual Power Headlight and Driving Light Controller". This is the one I got were you can do 6 volts to one set of LED's and 12 volts to another.

Wolf, where did you get the 3S female connector end for your light setup?

Is a pre-made connection.

Ok guys, here's some pictures of what it looks like at night. I couldn't be happier with how the front lights came out, they look great, and they work great too. The rear ones are ok, but I'm going to re do them correctly. Sorry if any pictures are blurry, my camera really doesn't like darkness.

With just the Summit LED's on:





This picture shows how off the rear ones are.



With the LED light bar on in a completely dark room:

Looking good wolf. I made an offer to the guy on ebay for the light bar and he counter-offered $35 shipped. It's better than paying $50

[rwc2002]

Here is what I ended up doing for my rear bumper and lights I think it turned out pretty nice. I still have to run my wires back which is why the lit up picture is with the bumper off lol.

Really nice rear bumper light

[rizz0d]

that looks really nice. traxxas should have set us up like this from the factory.

[jeteffect]

Nice job on these lights!

[fabster32]

Awesome dude....have a couple of additional questions; sent you a pm...

[fletch33]

thanks to everyone on this thread and Wolfslash16 i ordered your parts recommendations.

i have got to stay off these forums before i spend as much on accessories as i did the XMAXX

[Jovanboris]

How did you wire the light to the batteries? Do u connect to both batteries simultaneously? I'm really desperate to know because I am thinking of doing exactly what you did and yours seems to be perfect! ( any additional picture or a little explanation would help me a lot) Thanks!

Got a light bar mounted and working on my X-Maxx! I used a Vanquish LED light bar, which mounted PERFECTLY into the stock bumper opening! I even used the factory screw holes to mount it. This is the one I used... *LINK HERE*





I'm getting power from the lipo balance cable, using either the 2s or 3s end plug.



It's CRAZY bright!

[Jovanboris]

I searched on eBay and I found some. Just type in "3s lipo connectors" and you will get several offers to choose from.

[Blkdrgn808]

Made a mistake and ordered a 4" LED light bar and it wouldn't fit in the bumper. Until my new light bar comes in I decided to install it inside. I know I didn't want to install it on the outside of the body since I crash a lot. I do have the Shoe Goo and mesh inside the body but the light still shines through. This is a temporary install so we'll see if it holds up to the jumps. I also ordered the wrong size battery so everything kinda worked out.





My Plug blocks the bar but it didn't seem to affect the lighting.



I think it looks very cool especially since we play a lot at night.

[Multirotor]

That's sweet! Why the extra lipo?

[Blkdrgn808]

It's to power the lights. I had extra since I ordered wrong.

[hartson]

that light bar wolfslash16 is using is darn expensive but no worries! budget upgrader hartson for rescue! that light bar cost about 10 bucks. it also flashes but really. wolfslash16's light bar is so bright and awesome ;-; good work!

[Blkdrgn808]

That light bar is nothing really special as I have one too. After looking at it, it's the housing is what you are paying for. The lights itself is just the normal SMD LEDs light strip that you can buy off of Ebay or Amazon for $10 for 15ft. Just buy the waterproof ones and make your own housing if you want to save money.

Can you please provide a little more details on this Headlight??
Namely:
1. How did you connect it to get power? Was it plug n play into the receiver?
2. Where did you get it?
3. Where their any brackets with the light?
4. Any mods needed to mount it to the front bumper?
thanks!

[hartson]

@Blkdrgn808 i wonder why i didn't think it that way. brilliant! back to the drawing board -->

oh. i provide more pictures of this as soon as it dries up a little. i'm also thinking of modifying it to be a whole lot more brighter. and i tried to tell where i bought it but this forum censored it. light bar came with mounting brackets and front bumper did need a little cutting to make this fit. also it takes power straight from receiver

Thank you! It's crazy. All the cost is in the scale looking metal box and then they hide it behind the bumper.

Even if I worked at a hobby store and got a discount, It still wouldn't be worth it for this application.

So where did you get this kit? What's the name of the kit or model number? Thanks.

[vwp6269]

I would love to do this.... But honestly I have every intention to wreck this thing and putting anything nice on the front is basically signing it's death or burning cash

[Multirotor]

Haha, Very true^^

[Maxxnutt69]

This is my problem also, I bought this truck to beat the snot out of, charge the battery's, repeat!!! If I put anything on it nice it WILL die!! I do however love the looks of the lights under the body, that is killer and I may copy that!!

[Blkdrgn808]

Redid the how the lights are installed. The two long LED strips are on aluminum C channels. Since I had an extra light bar I threw that in too. The receiver couldn't power the 12v lights so I used the battery balance plug.

These look go - could you post some pictures of it installed on the X-MaXX please?
1. Does it install into the front bumper? How is I attached? Photos of this?
2. Does it connect direct to receiver - plug n play?


Thanks

[Sodfarmer123]

They are zip tied and sticky tack to the truck and bumper. It runs in a 3s balance plug. No need for extra Lipo if you are running 3s with a balance plug. They are brighter than the LEDs that plug into the Rx because they are running on 12v instead of 6v.

[Sodfarmer123]

I can't figure out how to post pics?
