Key Features
- Red LED Design — The bright red LED provides excellent visibility and authentic scale appearance, making your Pro Scale sand car look more realistic and stand out during evening drives or indoor track sessions. Red lighting is a popular choice for off-road and sand racing vehicles, enhancing the aggressive aesthetic of modern RC buggies.
- Flex-Tech Spring-Loaded Mount — Traxxas's proprietary Flex-Tech mounting system features a spring-loaded design that flexes and absorbs impacts from rough terrain, vibration and contact, ensuring the light stays securely mounted whilst reducing stress on mounting points. This engineering approach significantly improves durability compared to rigid mounts.
- Fits Left or Right Side — The universal design of this whip light allows it to be installed on either the left or right side of your Pro Scale sand car, giving you flexibility in your lighting configuration and allowing you to replace damaged units on either side of your vehicle.
- Includes Mounting Hardware — Each light comes with two 3x12mm machine screws (BCS), providing everything you need for secure installation without requiring you to source additional fasteners.
- Sold Individually — Purchased as a single unit, allowing you to replace one light at a time or build a complete pair by purchasing two units, giving you full control over your lighting setup and budget.
- Pro Scale Compatible — Engineered specifically for Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Cars, ensuring perfect fitment and integration with your existing vehicle platform, whether in orange, green, red or blue.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Red LED Whip Light represents quality engineering combined with scale realism. The bright red LED delivers excellent illumination suitable for indoor tracks, outdoor evening runs, and showcase displays, with consistent light output that enhances visibility without draining excessive power from your battery pack. The Flex-Tech spring-loaded mount is constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the harsh environments of RC racing and bashing, flexing under impact to protect both the light assembly and the mounting points on your sand car chassis. The engineering behind the Flex-Tech system reflects Traxxas's commitment to durability and performance in demanding RC conditions. The compact design of the whip light minimises aerodynamic impact whilst maintaining authentic scale proportions for Pro Scale vehicles. Installation is straightforward, utilising standard 3x12mm screws for secure attachment to compatible mounting points on your vehicle. The light operates through the optional 6588X accessory power supply, which integrates seamlessly with your existing electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas vehicles is this red whip light compatible with? — This LED light is designed specifically for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car, compatible with all colour variants including orange (TRX109076-4-ORNG), green (TRX109076-4-GRN), red (TRX109076-4-RED), and blue (TRX109076-4-BLUE). If you own a different Traxxas RC car model, please check compatibility before ordering.
- Do I need anything else to make this light work? — Yes, the Traxxas 6588X Accessory Power Supply is required to power this LED whip light. This power supply is sold separately and provides the electrical connection and power distribution for your lighting accessories. Without it, the light will not function.
- Can I install this light on either side of my sand car? — Absolutely. The Flex-Tech spring-loaded mount design is universal and allows installation on either the left or right side of your Pro Scale sand car. This flexibility means you can replace a damaged light on whichever side needs it, or purchase two lights to create a complete pair for authentic dual-light appearance.
- What makes the Flex-Tech mount better than standard rigid mounts? — The Flex-Tech spring-loaded system flexes and absorbs impacts from rough terrain and collisions, protecting the light assembly from damage and reducing stress on the mounting points of your chassis. This engineering approach extends component lifespan and maintains secure positioning even after impacts, unlike rigid mounts which transfer all impact energy directly to the light and chassis.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, installation of this whip light is straightforward, requiring only basic tools and the two included 3x12mm screws. However, you will need to have the compatible Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale sand car and the 6588X power supply to use it effectively. If you're new to RC cars UK, our team can provide guidance on installation and compatibility.
- What is the difference between this red light and other Traxxas whip lights? — Traxxas offers whip lights in different colours, including blue and red options. The primary difference is the LED colour itself — red provides a distinctive appearance that complements racing liveries and off-road themes, whilst blue offers an alternative aesthetic. Both use the same Flex-Tech mounting system and require the 6588X power supply.
