Amazing light bar I found on Amazon

[jondilly1974]

This thing was $16 and is super easy to install and control. It simply plugs into any spare port on your receiver and can be controlled by the corresponding channel on your radio to cycle thru the many colors and modes. I have it on my Mojave EXB so I can see it far away on the end of a speed pass and know which way it’s pointed.

That’s pretty cool. Can we see how you minted it? And does it detach from the light bar when you remove the body? Or is it in the bumper

 

[RetroKevin]

Looks great!

Not for epileptics. ( !! )

careful if you use on a speed run…..in NC they would think you were State Patrol !

It comes with hardware and brackets to mount it. Hard to take good photos indoors. It’s dark outside. I mounted it to the underside of the wing.

I've noticed for years that when I have something sitting in my Amazon cart the price jumps after a few hours or days... move it to "save for later" and it goes back to normal price!!!!

Everytime theres a price fluxuation I assume someone else moved it in or out of the cart, or bought it.

We need to see how it handles a 100mph back flip.

Is the housing metal or plastic? I've been afraid to mount my second set of Polo lights for fear of breaking them, but this I'd be more willing to bash.

It is a mixture of metal and plastic. Most of the important parts are some type of metal.

I saw that on aliexpress the other day, but couldn't decide if I wanted one looks like I do now

Lights are cool.
I have this smaller sized and only 8 modes light bar laying around, just waiting to be installed someday.

If you want a lot of light, check out these. They are on my Mojave.

Here is a bright morning daylight demo. The sun is shining directly into the light bar here.

Made a similar post on this....how do you control a light you plug into your RX from the TX. Need something to send a signal right? Lost on how that works with just straight two-pin light wire...

Nope a three wire plug just like a servo. Then using your transmitter, you push the button for that channel to cycle thru the light modes. I have a Noble NB4 and use CH4.

I was NOT aware of that...I have seen in my short history a mix of lights I have purchased....most all with 2-pin red/black wire but I do have a small few that are 3-pin with the extra white wire...

So I am clear...in theory, I could take my SR6110AT rx and plug that 3-pin light in say AUX3 since I have 3-4 open. Then if I looked for that channel on the DX5C #3 I "should" be able to control it? Is that the understanding....

Yep that's how it should work. I don't own that radio to 100% confirm it, but yes, that should be fine.

Should work.

Nice find. I picked one up based on your post and it actually mounts perfectly to an Infraction using the holes from the roof skids. The wire runs down the roof and enters through the hole for the roll cage:
