Hey Arrma nation.
I picked up a Super Rock Rey (comes tomorrow). Got some upgrades coming for it already, just because.😂

Question about light bars, I don’t really give a schit about them really……but I have to ask…..what are your opinions about light bars and their effect on lipo run time. In my opinion they generate a fair bit of heat (on the light itself) which leads me to believe they would have some negative impact on run time.

What are your thoughts? Am I wrong about this? The SRR has 3 light bars installed.

cheers,
kev

I only have two rigs with a light bar, DBXLE and Baja Rey.

Baja Rey has two light bars and I don’t notice any shortage in runtime, although I have never ran it without the light bars.

They sure look cool, especially when it’s dusty.
 
They certainly look cool and I’m a big Losi fan. I just remember Bicketybam commenting on how difficult it was to work on. 🤷‍♂️
 
Used to own a losi db pro but wasnt too impressed...sold it a couple of yrs ago and so far so good with kraton 4s.
 
Congrats on the new rig. Always thought those looked like fun.

I have light bars on a few cars and don’t notice any negative effects. They use such low power and we use big, powerful lipos.
 
I have rock lights and a light bar on one of my crawlers, i only run a 1550mah battery in it, and there is no appreciable difference in run time if i have the lights on or off.
 
Had many RCs with lights either stock or installed and cant say ive noticed much in the way of adverse effects. Not even my old UDR livht kit made mucb of a difference either heat or runtime.
 
Well the SRR is awesome I have to say.

Pain in the ass to work on but a lovely rig. The limit straps keep coming undone so I’m now using Arrma battery straps in their place. The rig comes with optional “toe in” adapters for the rear, I’ve installed them and the rig is less squirrelly in the rear end.

I’ve ordered some 24mm hex adapters so I can run normal tires (stock hex 20mm). Lipos……gotta make sure to run lipos with long leads or they won’t reach the connections.

Running on 8S today got 83kmh out of it……good enough for me (and the wife, who drives the rig)

All in all, great truck.

I don't if you would even want to do this, but i believe hot racing make a set of 17mm adapters for the yeti xl that are a direct fit onto the SRR.

Part number YEX10KX01

I got some adapters from a German company that are 24mm. I want to run 8S Dboots backflips on it.
