Perfect for anyone looking to enhance their RC vehicle's realism and functionality, this light bar transforms your RC car into a properly equipped night-time explorer.

Best suited for 1/10th scale vehicles and bigger, this compact yet powerful lighting solution combines practical illumination with eye-catching visual effects. The kit includes a column support fixing and L-bracket fixings, allowing you to fit this bar in a number of positions on a bodyshell, off a bumper, or even mounted to a roof rack. The professional-grade construction and receiver-compatible design make this an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts who want to take their hobby into the evening hours. Whether you're a seasoned RC car racer, a weekend basher, or discovering the world of RC vehicles for the first time, this light bar delivers impressive results without breaking the bank.

The light bar connects directly to your RC receiver via its 15-inch long cable, allowing you to control illumination modes from your radio transmitter through an auxiliary channel or any spare receiver channel with a switch or button assigned. This seamless integration means no complicated wiring or additional controllers required—simply plug and play functionality that works with your existing radio system.

Key Features

• 20 Selectable Light Modes — This light bar offers an extensive range of 20 different lighting modes, from practical steady white illumination that can light up the darkest of trails, through to colourful flashing effects that are certain to dazzle. This versatility means you can choose between functional trail lighting for actual nighttime running and showpiece effects for visual appeal at RC events and gatherings.
• Receiver-Controlled Operation via AUX Channel — The light bar connects to your RC receiver's auxiliary channel (or any spare channel with a switch/button assigned on your radio), allowing you to cycle through all 20 light modes whilst driving. This integration with your existing radio system eliminates the need for additional controllers or complicated wiring installations.
• Comprehensive Mounting Solutions Included — The kit includes both a column support fixing and L-bracket fixings, offering flexible installation options. You can mount the bar directly on your bodyshell, attach it to your bumper, or position it on a roof rack, giving you complete freedom to match your RC vehicle's design and aesthetic.
• IPX3 Water-Resistant Rating — With an IPX3 waterproof rating, the light bar offers protection against water spray and light moisture exposure, making it suitable for most outdoor RC running conditions. However, it provides no protection if submerged or subjected to heavy spray or rain, so care should be taken in severe weather.
• 150mm Compact Form Factor — At 150mm in length with minimal height (11mm) and width (13mm), this light bar adds minimal bulk to your RC model whilst delivering maximum visual impact. The compact dimensions ensure it won't interfere with aerodynamics or handling characteristics of your RC vehicle.
• 15-Inch Control Cable — The generous 15-inch cable length provides excellent flexibility in positioning the light bar away from your receiver, allowing creative mounting options and ensuring clean cable routing through your chassis or body.

Technical Performance

The RCO Light Bar, AUX Multi Func LED 150mm represents quality engineering in a compact form factor. At 155mm in overall length, 11mm in height, and 13mm in width, this light bar is engineered to provide powerful LED illumination without adding significant bulk or weight to your RC setup. The unit features professional-grade LED technology capable of producing both steady illumination and dynamic colour-changing effects across its 20 different lighting modes. The IPX3 rating indicates the light bar has been tested for protection against water spray and light moisture exposure, though submersion and heavy rainfall should be avoided to prevent damage to the LED board and internal circuitry. The light bar requires proper installation using the supplied plastic washers on both sides of the unit—these washers are essential as they protect the delicate LED circuit board from damage during mounting and subsequent vibration during operation. The 15-inch cable is terminated with a standard servo connector, making it compatible with receiver auxiliary channels found on most RC radio systems in common use today. The steady white mode delivers impressive brightness levels suitable for genuine trail illumination, whilst the RGB flow modes, water effects, and colour gradients provide spectacular visual displays for scale appearance and evening events.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this light bar with any RC car radio system? — Yes, the light bar connects to any standard RC receiver's auxiliary (AUX) channel or any spare receiver channel that has a switch or button assigned on your transmitter. This makes it compatible with virtually all modern RC radio systems including Spektrum, Futaba, FrSky, Traxxas and other popular brands used in the UK RC market.
• How many light modes does this light bar have and what are they? — The RCO Light Bar features 20 different light modes including: Steady White, Steady Blue, Steady Red, Steady Green, Steady Purple, Blue Water, Red Water, RGB Flow, Red Green Gradient, 24 Colour, 24 Colour Water, RGR Flash, Knight Rider, Colourful Water 1, Colourful Water 2, Yellow Flash, Red and Blue Flash, Colourful Switch, White Flash, and Colour Flash. You cycle through these modes using your radio transmitter's assigned switch or button.
• What is the IPX3 waterproof rating and what does it mean for my RC car? — IPX3 rating means the light bar has protection against water spray but no protection if submerged or subjected to heavy spray or rain. This rating is suitable for typical RC running in most weather conditions, but you should avoid running in heavy downpours or through water. If the light bar gets damp, stop operation immediately and dry it thoroughly before further use to prevent damage.
• What scale RC vehicles is this light bar suitable for? — This light bar is best suited for 1/10th scale RC vehicles and larger. The 150mm length works well on most standard RC crawlers, bashers, and competition vehicles in this scale and above. It may be too large for smaller scales like 1/16th or 1/18th models.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The light bar is very straightforward to install and operate. Simply connect the cable to your receiver's auxiliary channel, assign a switch or button on your transmitter, and you're ready to go. The included mounting brackets provide flexible options for fitting to virtually any RC body design, and the installation process requires only basic RC knowledge.
• What size cable does this have and will it reach my receiver? — The light bar comes with a 15-inch long control cable terminated with a standard servo connector. This length provides excellent flexibility for routing through most RC chassis and positioning the light bar away from your receiver. If you need additional cable length, standard servo extension cables are widely available from RC retailers.
• What battery does this light bar need? — The light bar draws power from your RC vehicle's receiver system, which is powered by your main RC battery (typically a 2S, 3S, or higher LiPo battery depending on your vehicle). No separate battery is required for the light bar itself—it integrates directly with your existing RC electrical system.
• Can I mount this light bar in different positions on my RC vehicle? — Yes, the kit includes both column support fixing and L-bracket fixings, allowing you to mount the bar in multiple positions including on your bodyshell, bumper, or roof rack. This flexibility means you can customise the placement to match your specific RC model's design and your personal preferences.
• Do I need any tools or additional parts to install this light bar? — The light bar comes with all necessary mounting hardware including plastic washers that must be used during installation to protect the LED circuit board. Standard RC tools and mounting supplies are all that's needed. Do not install without the plastic washers as they prevent damage to the delicate LED board.
• How bright is the steady white mode for actually lighting up dark trails? — The steady white mode provides impressive brightness levels suitable for genuine trail illumination, making it capable of lighting up the darkest of trails for nighttime RC running. This is not just a decorative light—it's genuinely functional for visibility during evening sessions.
