- Compact, Lightweight Design — Weighing just 13.0 grams (0.46 ounces), this system adds negligible weight to your RC model, ensuring that adding authentic scale lighting doesn't compromise your truck's performance, handling, or weight distribution on technical courses.
- Servo Extension Wire Included — The kit comes with a 100mm servo extension wire, simplifying integration with your existing RC electronics and reducing the need to source additional connectors or adapters separately.
- Purpose-Built for RC4WD C2X Competition Trucks — This lighting system is specifically engineered to fit the RC4WD C2X Class 2 Competition Truck platform, ensuring perfect integration, optimal mounting points, and verified compatibility with your scale crawler without modification or adaptation.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Basic LED Lighting System represents intelligent engineering for competition-grade RC crawlers, combining simplicity with authentic scale functionality. The lighting array uses industry-standard 5mm and 3mm LED components proven reliable across thousands of RC installations in the UK and globally. Operating voltage specifications of 4.5V to 9V DC ensure compatibility with virtually any modern RC battery system, from standard NiMH packs to modern LiPo configurations running on your competition truck. The control and operating voltages are optimised at 7.4V, matching the standard 2S LiPo battery configuration that powers the majority of RC crawlers in this scale class. The compact design and minimal weight (just 13 grams) mean you can add authentic lighting functionality without compromising the suspension geometry, weight distribution, or performance characteristics of your RC4WD C2X platform. The generous 570mm wire leads demonstrate thoughtful engineering, allowing installers to route lighting wiring logically through the chassis rather than forcing tight routing that risks damage or poor connector contact. The inclusion of a servo extension wire (100mm) further simplifies integration with receiver systems, reducing reliance on additional parts and keeping installation within the reach of intermediate RC hobbyists while satisfying the demands of experienced competition builders.
