Overview
The Traxxas LED Light Bar Roof Lights (TRX8087) is an essential accessory for enthusiasts who want to add authentic, scale-realistic lighting to their TRX-4 Sport RC crawler. Designed to the same rigorous standards that make Traxxas a leader in the RC hobby, this LED roof light bar transforms your RC car UK experience by delivering professional-grade illumination that brings your scale model to life. Whether you're a dedicated off-road basher, a scale crawler enthusiast, or someone exploring the world of ready to run RC vehicles, adding realistic lighting effects elevates your model's appearance and realism to a whole new level.
This LED roof light bar is engineered for serious RC enthusiasts who appreciate attention to detail and authentic scale representation. The roof lights utilise advanced surface-mount LED technology combined with a custom-designed clear lens to deliver unsurpassed realism that catches the eye whether you're driving during daylight or in low-light conditions. The light bar is specifically designed to fit the 8111-series body, making it the perfect upgrade for TRX-4 Sport owners who want to enhance their model's visual impact without compromising build quality or durability.
Installation is straightforward for RC car UK buyers—the light bar bolts directly to the optional 8120 or 8120X Expedition Rack, giving you a secure, professional-looking installation that won't interfere with your crawler's performance. To use this lighting system, you'll need the separate TRX8028 power supply (sold separately), which connects your LED lights to your vehicle's power system. This modular approach means you can add lighting whenever you're ready, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to customise their TRX-4 Sport without overhauling their entire setup.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas LED Light Bar Roof Lights represent the pinnacle of scale realism and engineering precision. Built using surface-mount LED technology, this lighting system delivers consistently bright output from components that are extremely compact and lightweight, ensuring they don't negatively impact your crawler's weight distribution or handling characteristics. The custom clear lens is precision-engineered to provide optimal light diffusion, creating the realistic appearance of proper vehicle lighting whilst remaining small enough to maintain scale proportions. The construction utilises durable materials designed to withstand the rigours of off-road RC use, including vibration, impacts, and exposure to dirt and dust. The light bar mounts securely to the 8120 or 8120X Expedition Rack using bolted connections that create a rigid, vibration-free installation. Performance is consistent and reliable across all operating conditions, and the LED components require no warm-up time and produce minimal heat, making them safe for extended use on your brushless RC crawler or any other TRX-4 Sport configuration. When paired with the TRX8028 power supply, the system delivers reliable, fade-free illumination throughout your driving session.
