Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX3690 LED Light Bar is engineered with precision manufacturing standards that Traxxas is renowned for across their entire RC car UK product range. The light bar features integrated LED elements that provide reliable, long-lasting illumination without the power drain or heat generation of traditional bulb-based systems. The mounting system uses dual 3x8mm and dual 2.5x8mm bracket clamp screws, which are industry-standard fasteners that ensure vibration-resistant attachment to your vehicle's front bumper assembly. The construction quality reflects Traxxas's commitment to durability—the light bar will withstand the vibrations, impacts, and environmental exposure that comes with regular RC truck operation, whether you're running on tarmac, grass, or dirt surfaces.

- Is this a plug-and-play accessory or does it require soldering? — The TRX3690 arrives fully assembled and ready to install, so you won't need to solder any circuits or components. However, you will need to connect it to your vehicle's electrical system—the exact connection method depends on your specific Traxxas model and whether it has a dedicated lighting connector. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact our team for installation guidance specific to your truck.
- What is the difference between the 3x8mm and 2.5x8mm bracket clamp screws? — The kit includes two sizes of bracket clamp screws to accommodate different mounting hole configurations on various Traxxas bumper designs.
