Key Features

• High-Intensity LEDs Easily Visible in Bright Daylight — The powerful LED lights ensure that both drivers can clearly see the start signal, even when racing outdoors in bright sunlight, eliminating any confusion about when the race has begun and guaranteeing fair starts in all weather conditions.
• Random 2-6 Second Start Delay — This innovative feature prevents drivers from anticipating when the start light will flash, ensuring that getting the holeshot is entirely dependent on genuine reaction time and driving skill rather than predictable timing patterns, making every race exciting and unpredictable.
• Ten Second Countdown to Drivers Ready — The countdown light sequence gives both drivers time to prepare and focus before the race begins, building anticipation and creating the authentic racing experience found at professional drag racing events.
• Compact, Pocketable Design — With its small footprint and lightweight construction, the start light can be carried in your pocket or bag, making it convenient to transport to the track or racing location, whether you're racing at home, at a club, or at organised events.
• Rugged, Impact-Resistant Construction — Built to withstand the demands of regular use and the occasional impact from RC vehicles, this start light is engineered with durable materials that protect the electronics while remaining lightweight enough for easy portability.
• Rubber Feet Prevent Sliding — The non-slip rubber feet keep the start light firmly in place during races, ensuring it doesn't move or shift when positioned on the track, maintaining consistency and reliability throughout your racing sessions.
• Solo Practice Capability — You can use the Drag Race Start Light by yourself to practise launching and develop your reaction time without needing a second person, making it perfect for honing your racing skills during solo training sessions.
• Optional Wireless Remote Control Compatible — The start light is compatible with the optional Traxxas Wireless Winch Remote TRX8857 (sold separately), allowing a race director or flagger to manually control the start sequence for even more authentic no-prep racing experiences directly from the starting line.
