- Want to control you Traxxas TRX44 led light kit with your transmitter? In this video I show you a cost effective way to do this. This process also works on most ligting controls and Led light kits.
This is easiest with the use of a new transmitter such as the Flysky GT3C or the GT5B. Just remember you will need at least one separate channel avalible to run the light control. THis same process works when running non traxxas electronics, you just need to wire the factory led box into the battery leads instead of the ESC. I show this control running on channel six and programed to a button on the top of the radio. This can be done with as little as a 3 channel receiver on trucks with only steering and throttle channels used by plugging into channel 3.
CHeck out the links below for the products used and a video on how to waterproof your receiver and lighting control unit.

Just found your channel. I absolutely love the way you actually explain things compared to so many others that don't.
Thanks for the upload and sharing the information/knowledge.
Really appreciate the kind words and thanks for checking out the channel definitely try to bring some kind of perspective on things that I have looked around CZcams for and just can’t find.
Nice DIY guide, good job my friend
Excellent illustrations rc parts for trx4👌👌👌
Thanks to you I can finally turn my Trx4 lights on/off from my GT3C! This setup should have came installed from the factory on these pricey little beasts imo. Great mod!
Awesome glad it helped you out. This comment actually made my night a little better. Currently fighting trying to put a new receiver in my UDR. This thing is almost impossible to get your hands inside of
Sweet thanks for posting this video!!! You covered everything I needed to know! I have a flysky gt5 controller so this wont be super hard
Awesome sorry it took me a few days to get it up and going filmed one portion of it the other night and it just didn’t look very good
And yeah with that radio you’ll be able to program it no problem
Best explanation so far.. seen to many vdos with official lights(expensive) thanks for helping out.. do post such non official part installation vdos.. all the best..
Great video....thanks for sharing
Hey great channel I really like it new subscriber I wish I had a small percentage of your education well now I do! Thank you for your time!
Really appreciate the comment and hate just have fun and you’ll learn a lot about these I learned a lot of this by just messing up lol really need to start doing videos again been doing a lot of stuff just haven’t had the filming bug. Have fun out there
I like those apex switched have a pair in a stampede one on the bumper lights and the other on a lightbar on the roof.
They work really well especially for the money definitely a good thing for your dollar
Nice dude
Good Vid
So the light module is constantly seeing 2s power, as in 7.4V?
Does this increase or stay the same if running a 3s battery to power the RC? Great description and information 👍
honestly, I can’t remember I think that it does step the voltage down the lighting control module is plugged in to the ESC but I would have to break out the voltmeter and actually check it. I know that it can handle whatever battery that that ESC can handle the other wire that is the tripwire to turn it on and off, that is just saying 5.5 V from the receiver. I can check the voltage with a voltmeter and see I’m actually kind of curious now that you asked that.
do you got a link or can you tell me to where you bought the adapter box for adding multiple lights to it?
Great video. Do you know what the maximum input voltage is for the Traxxas light connector?
So if you’re asking what voltage the lights actually run on it’s 3.5 to 5 V. However the lighting control unit actually gets direct power from the battery and it can be see it either 2 or 3s Power and it just steps the voltage down to what the Traxxas lights use. Hope this helps most Traxxas electronics such as servos and everything like that generally is limited to 6 V. Most of the time they don’t like anything more than that
The JST lead from the light controller to the ESC has 2 black wires ? Which is + - ??? A JST can be plugged in either way and will fry the controller.
