I'm in the process of ordering a Felony and figured I'll add more scale features to it. However I've not got experience when it comes to light kits and control boxes but I want a decent kit to go in!

I'm looking to fit some angel eye LED lights front and rear. What I want is to make use of an aux channel on my DX5C to be able to toggle from:

Angel lights front ⚪
Angel lights front and rear ⚪⭕
Full beam front with angel lights front and rear ⚪⚪⭕
Then all OFF (except brake lights)

I want the rear lights to be permanently functional brake lights!

Could anyone recommend a light control box that could be programmed for this? I'll check out some YT videos in the mean time!

I'm into Crawlers . I used MyTrickRC before. Quality stuff IMHO. I also have a DX5C.
To get your radio to switch lighting On and Off remotely, you will need a switching controller plugged into Aux channel 3. The light controller then plugs into to the switching controller. The Radio will then control power on and off.

After posting this thread I saw RC Girl's video on the DG-1 install... the same you suggested... looks perfect!


This is exactly what I want - to toggle the LEDs in a rotation from a single switch relay... only I'm not sure if this controller will do brake lights? Reverse, yes, but brake lights? Alongside being able to toggle these LEDs in a rotation?

I should probably watch their own install video, it might explain it ??

Edit: the halo/angel lights you shared... would it be possible to split the outer ring LED and the centre LED inputs? If this is possible... would the centre LED burn up if put into the high power ports of this controller? (Ports A-D)

Not sure about splitting power between the halo lights and the center Led, but that's a nice idea. I believe to get the the brake lights to work, you have to route the ESC thru the light controller to get Br. light when you engage brake on the radio trigger. That's how I've seen it done at least. I myself never did that before.
If you call MTRC directly, the owner is a nice guy, and will explain it better and offer the kit that's required. I called him before. He is really into RC lighting stuff. A real hobbyist. :cool:
