Overview
The Traxxas LED Light Kit for Mini XRT is the ultimate way to transform your RC car into a fully illuminated machine that stands out on the track or trail. Whether you're running your Mini XRT indoors under lights or outdoors during twilight sessions, this complete LED lighting system adds both functionality and style to your 1/10 scale RC vehicle. Designed with the same precision engineering and build quality that Traxxas is renowned for across the RC car UK community, this kit delivers factory fit and finish that makes installation straightforward and reliable. If you're serious about your RC hobby and want your Mini XRT to look as professional as it performs, this LED kit is an essential upgrade that will make your brushless RC truck the envy of every basher at the track.
Built to the exacting standards of Traxxas Tough™ quality, this complete LED lighting solution includes everything you need to add bright, responsive lighting to your Mini XRT. The kit comprises a replacement front bumper with integrated LED light bar, a roof skid plate fitted with both front and rear light bars, a tightly regulated 3-volt accessory power supply, and a power tap connector with connecting cable. This is not a partial kit or upgrade pack—it's a comprehensive lighting system engineered to work seamlessly with your Mini XRT, providing the same durability and reliability you expect from ready-to-run RC equipment. The forward-facing white LEDs illuminate the path ahead, giving you better visibility and control during low-light driving sessions, whilst the rearward-facing red LEDs enhance rear visibility for both safety and aesthetic appeal.
One of the standout features of this LED kit is its focus on reliability and brightness consistency throughout your entire run. The tightly regulated power supply prevents the flickering and dimming that can occur with less sophisticated lighting systems, ensuring your lights remain bright from the start of your run through to the finish. The entire system is fully waterproof, meaning you can take your Mini XRT through water crossings, muddy terrain, and wet conditions without worrying about electrical failures. This robust construction makes the Traxxas LED Light Kit perfect for serious RC enthusiasts who want to extend their driving sessions beyond daylight hours and maintain peak performance in challenging conditions.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas LED Light Kit represents a significant step up in quality and engineering compared to aftermarket lighting solutions commonly found in the RC hobby market. This system is engineered specifically for the Mini XRT platform, with components manufactured to the exacting tolerances and quality standards that define Traxxas products. The 3-volt regulated power supply is the heart of the system, delivering stable electrical output that keeps LEDs bright and consistent regardless of how your LiPo battery voltage fluctuates during driving. Unlike basic lighting kits that rely on simple voltage regulators, Traxxas has implemented tight regulation that prevents the dimming and flickering that occurs as your main battery discharges through your run—a critical advantage for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability in every component of their vehicle. The fully waterproof design means this kit is rated to handle water crossings, moisture exposure, and humid conditions, making it suitable for all-weather RC driving. Every electrical connection utilises the power tap connector system, which is a professional-grade solution that ensures reliable current delivery without the risk of loose connections or corrosion that can develop with basic wire connections. The LED technology employed delivers bright, focused illumination from both the front light bar mounted on the bumper and the dual light bars on the roof skid plate, with white LEDs in the forward-facing position providing effective terrain illumination and red LEDs in the rear providing both visibility and authentic vehicle lighting appearance.

Compatibility and Fitment
This LED light kit is designed specifically for the Mini XRT with 10712-series body shells. It is essential to verify that your Mini XRT uses the original 10712 shell before purchasing this kit, as fitment with other body variants is not guaranteed. If you own the newer 10715-series body shell, the correct kit for your vehicle is the TRX10785X, which features modified fitment for that body style. The kit fits the following Mini XRT colour variants: TRX108076-1-RED (Red), TRX108076-1-BLUE (Blue), TRX108076-1-GRN (Green), and TRX108076-1-ORNG (Orange). All of these vehicles feature the standard 10712 body shell, ensuring compatibility with this lighting system.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this LED light kit easy to install on a Mini XRT? — Yes, the Traxxas LED Light Kit is designed with factory fit and finish, meaning the components are engineered to fit your Mini XRT without modification. All mounting hardware is included in the box, and the power tap connector system makes electrical installation straightforward. Most users can complete installation in less than an hour without requiring specialist knowledge or tools.
- Will this LED kit work in wet conditions? — Absolutely. The entire system is fully waterproof, which means you can confidently take your Mini XRT through water crossings, wet grass, muddy terrain, and rainy conditions without risking electrical failure. This makes the kit ideal for all-season RC driving in the UK climate.
- What is the advantage of the regulated power supply in this kit? — The tightly regulated 3-volt power supply maintains consistent voltage output throughout your driving run, preventing the flickering and dimming that occurs with simpler LED kits as your LiPo battery voltage drops. This engineering means your lights stay bright and reliable from the beginning to the end of your driving session, providing both better visibility and more professional appearance.
- Does this LED kit fit all Mini XRT models? — No, this kit (TRX10785) is designed specifically for the original 10712-series body shells. If you own a Mini XRT with the newer 10715-series body, you will need the TRX10785X kit instead. Check your body shell designation before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
- What colour are the LEDs and where do they illuminate? — The kit features white forward-facing LEDs on both the front bumper light bar and front roof light bar, which illuminate the terrain ahead and provide visibility during low-light driving. The rear roof light bar features red LEDs that face backward, enhancing rear visibility and adding authentic vehicle lighting appearance. This combination provides effective illumination coverage from multiple angles.
- Can I use this LED kit with my existing Mini XRT without removing other components? — Yes, the kit includes replacement bumper and roof skid plate components, so it integrates seamlessly with your existing Mini XRT. The power tap connector system means you simply plug the lighting system into your vehicle's power distribution without removing other electrical components.
- How does the power tap connector work? — The power tap connector is a professional-grade electrical connector that allows you to tap directly into your vehicle's accessory power without splicing wires. Simply connect the included cable to your Main power source, and the connector handles the rest. This system ensures reliable current delivery and reduces the risk of loose connections.
