Key Features

• Four Channel Wireless Control — This controller provides four independent output channels, allowing you to operate multiple lighting circuits simultaneously or switch between them as needed. This flexibility means you can control headlights, tail lights, spotlights, and auxiliary lighting all from a single compact remote, creating authentic and coordinated lighting effects on your scale model.
• Over 50ft Wireless Range — The handheld remote transmits its signal reliably over 50 feet away, giving you excellent control distance whether you're running your RC vehicle indoors in a large space or outdoors across a driving course. This extensive range ensures responsive lighting control without signal dropouts.
• Waterproof Receiver Unit — The receiver module is fully waterproof, protecting your investment against water exposure during wet-weather RC driving, river crossings, and splash conditions common in scale crawling and outdoor RC activities. This durability extends the life of your lighting system and keeps it functional in challenging British weather conditions.
• Compact and Lightweight Design — With a receiver measuring just 2.02 inches in length and weighing only a fraction of an ounce, this controller adds minimal weight to your RC vehicle whilst maintaining a low profile that fits neatly into scale bodies. The small footprint makes installation straightforward even in tightly packed scale chassis.
• Easy Plug-and-Play Installation — No soldering or complex wiring required—this system connects directly to your lights and power source using standard connectors. The included wireless connector and pre-manufactured wires ensure clean, professional installation that keeps your vehicle's interior looking scale-accurate and organised.
• Recon G6 Certified — This product has been tested and approved by the Recon G6 authority, confirming it meets industry standards for quality, reliability and performance in the RC community. This certification gives you confidence in the product's durability and compatibility with quality RC systems.
• Batteries Included — The remote comes ready to use immediately with batteries included, so you can start controlling your lights straight out of the box without additional purchases for remote operation.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range — With an operating voltage range of 6V to 9V, this controller is compatible with most standard RC vehicle power systems, including common NiMH battery packs and appropriately configured LiPo setups. This versatility ensures it works with your existing RC power infrastructure.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD 4 Channel Wireless Remote Light Controller represents thoughtful engineering tailored specifically for the scale RC market. The receiver unit is exceptionally compact at just 51.2mm (2.02 inches) in length, 32.2mm (1.27 inches) in width, and 14.1mm (0.55 inches) in height—dimensions deliberately chosen to fit seamlessly into scale vehicle bodies without compromising interior detail or creating visible external bumps. The entire receiver weighs just 20.5 grams including the wireless connector, making weight distribution a non-issue even on lightweight crawlers and scale trucks. The remote itself is proportionally compact at 59.5mm long and 34.3mm wide, weighing only 20.5 grams, making it comfortable to hold and operate for extended RC sessions. The pre-manufactured wires are manufactured by RC4WD to exact standards and measure 81.0mm in length with a weight of just 6.0 grams, ensuring neat routing through your vehicle's chassis. The receiver's waterproof construction protects sensitive electronics during wet conditions, though you should note that only the receiver is waterproof—the remote should be kept dry to prevent damage. The unit operates reliably across a 6V to 9V input range, accommodating 2-cell NiMH packs (producing nominal 2.4V × 2 = 4.8V to charged 2.6V × 2 = 5.2V) and properly configured 2-cell LiPo systems (producing nominal 7.4V). Important caution: whilst some LiPo batteries may be rated for 3-cell (3S) configuration, a fully charged 3S LiPo can exceed 11.1V and will exceed the safe operating voltage of this controller, so strict adherence to 2S LiPo maximum voltage is essential. The wireless transmission system operates reliably beyond 50 feet, tested and proven in real-world RC driving conditions, with the included batteries providing adequate capacity for extended RC sessions.

If you've ever driven an RC car in the UK, you can easily install and operate this lighting system.
• What battery does the RC4WD light controller need? — The receiver operates on any power source delivering 6V to 9V DC. This makes it compatible with 2-cell NiMH battery packs (which produce approximately 4.8-5.2V nominal) and 2-cell LiPo batteries (which produce approximately 7.4V nominal). The remote control comes with batteries included, so you're ready to operate immediately out of the box. Always verify your vehicle's battery voltage is within the safe 6V to 9V range before connecting.
• Is the receiver waterproof? — Yes, the receiver module is fully waterproof, making it ideal for wet-weather RC driving, water crossings, and outdoor use in rainy British conditions. However, the remote control is not waterproof and should be kept dry to prevent damage. Protect the remote from water exposure during use.
