• Regulated Power Module — The system includes a voltage regulator that delivers consistent power output from the first trigger pull until you recharge, ensuring your lights remain bright and reliable throughout your entire driving session.
• Waterproof Sealed Design — Built to withstand the demanding conditions of off-road RC driving, the lighting system features sealed waterproof construction that protects your investment during wet terrain driving and splash exposure.
• Easy Installation — The system comes with colour-coded and labelled ports, making installation straightforward even for builders who haven't worked with advanced lighting systems before.
• Breakaway Cable Safety Feature — The Distribution Block connects to the Power Module with a heavy-duty breakaway cable that automatically unplugs if your body separates from the chassis, preventing damage to expensive components.
• Battery Compatibility — The regulated Power Module works with batteries ranging from NiMH to 3S LiPo, giving you flexibility in your power setup without compromising lighting performance.
• Optional Signal Disabling — If you're tackling technical crawling terrain that might trigger unwanted turn-signalling, you can disable the turn signals with a simple double-click, preventing false activations during challenging driving.
• Expandable Lighting System — This kit is just the starting point; you can add additional lighting accessories including light bars, rock lights, and scene lights to further customise your sand car's appearance.
• Optional Wireless Control — By adding the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module and downloading the free Traxxas Link App to your iOS or Android device, you can wirelessly customise lighting modes, adjust brightness for photography, and manage multiple lighting accessories from your phone.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Pro Scale LED Light Set for Sand Cars represents a significant engineering achievement in RC vehicle customisation. The system is built around two core components: the Pro Scale Lighting Power Module, which installs on the chassis and connects to both the motor and receiver, and the Pro Scale Lighting Distribution Block, which mounts in the body and communicates with the Power Module via a sturdy breakaway cable. This dual-component design ensures reliable operation whilst providing built-in protection against damage if your body separates from the chassis during aggressive driving or crashes. The regulated power module is a crucial innovation that delivers consistent voltage output regardless of whether you're powering the system with older NiMH batteries or modern 3S LiPo packs, ensuring that your lights maintain their brightness throughout your entire driving session rather than dimming as battery voltage depletes. The Motor Sense technology powering the brake and reverse light automation represents genuine engineering sophistication—the system monitors your throttle input and actually understands when you're braking or reversing, triggering the appropriate lights without requiring any additional switches or manual intervention. This level of automation transforms the driving experience and creates genuinely realistic vehicle behaviour that enthusiasts in the UK RC market will immediately appreciate. The sealed waterproof design ensures the system can handle the inevitable splashes and wet conditions that come with serious off-road RC driving, whilst the colour-coded and labelled connection ports make assembly and troubleshooting straightforward. Whether you're building a display-quality sand car or an active basher that sees regular trail use, the Pro Scale system delivers the performance and reliability expected from Traxxas engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Pro Scale LED lighting system waterproof for wet terrain driving? — Yes, the system features sealed waterproof design that protects against water splash and wet conditions typical of off-road RC driving. The sealed construction ensures reliable operation whether you're driving through water crossings or in damp terrain, though you should avoid submerging components.
• Do I need the Pro Scale Advanced Lighting Control System separately? — Yes, this light set includes the physical lights and power amplifier, but you'll need to purchase the Pro Scale Advanced Lighting Control System (#6591) separately to actually control the lights and manage their functions. This modular approach allows you to choose the control system that best matches your needs.
• What battery types work with this lighting system? — The regulated Power Module is compatible with NiMH batteries and LiPo batteries from 1S through 3S, ensuring consistent power delivery and bright illumination regardless of which battery chemistry you prefer for your sand car.
• How do the brake lights and reverse lights work automatically? — The system uses Motor Sense technology that monitors your throttle input through the receiver. When you brake, it detects the negative throttle input and triggers the brake lights. When you engage reverse, it activates the reverse lights and keeps them on until you pull forward again. This eliminates the need for extra switches and creates genuinely realistic vehicle behaviour.
• Can I add more lights to this system later? — Absolutely. The Pro Scale system is designed to be expandable; you can add additional lighting accessories including light bars, rock lights, and scene lights as you develop your customisation. The regulated power module ensures consistent brightness across all additional components.
• What is the difference between the front and rear light bars? — The front light bar provides headlight illumination with high and low beam functionality, whilst the rear light bar houses the brake lights, reverse lights, and tail lights that activate automatically based on your driving input.
• Can I control the lights wirelessly from my phone? — Yes, if you add the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module to your TQi transmitter and download the free Traxxas Link App (available for iOS and Android), you can wirelessly select lighting modes, adjust brightness, and manage accessories directly from your smartphone—exceptionally useful for photo shoots or detailed customisation.
• How do the turn signals work with the self-cancelling feature? — Steer your sand car while stationary to activate the turn signal on the side you're turning toward. Once you start driving, the turn signal automatically cancels when you straighten the wheels. If technical terrain is causing unwanted signal activation, you can disable the turn signals entirely with a double-click of the signal button.
• What happens if my body separates from the chassis during a crash? — The Distribution Block connects to the Power Module via a heavy-duty breakaway cable that automatically unplugs if your body separates from the chassis, preventing electrical damage to either component. This is a thoughtfully engineered safety feature that protects your investment during crashes.
• Is this lighting system suitable for competition racing? — The Pro Scale system is designed primarily for scale realism and trail driving authenticity rather than competition racing. If you're building a competition sand car, consult with event organisers about lighting regulations, as some racing events may have restrictions on decorative lighting.
