Technical Performance
The RCO LED Light Line Pair represents quality engineering suitable for RC applications. These light lines are manufactured to reliable standards expected from recognised RC upgrade suppliers. The white LED output provides consistent illumination across the full 18cm length of each light line, ensuring even light distribution rather than hotspots or dead zones.

Whether installed on RC rock crawlers for night-time trail sessions, on scale RC trucks for realistic appearance, or on track-day RC buggies for enhanced visibility, these light lines deliver dependable performance. The construction is designed to withstand the vibrations and minor impacts typical of RC operation, making these upgrades a durable addition to your RC build. The 18cm length provides substantial coverage whilst remaining compact enough for most modern RC chassis and bodywork designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size RC models are these LED light lines suitable for? — The RCO LED Light Line Pair in 18cm is a universal upgrade designed for a wide range of RC scales and models. The 18cm length makes these particularly suitable for 1/10 scale and larger RC vehicles, though compatibility depends on your specific model's available mounting space and wiring capacity. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or consulting with our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm fitment for your particular build.
- Can I use just one LED light line instead of both? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst this product is sold as a pair, you can use one or both light lines depending on your specific model and lighting design requirements. Many RC enthusiasts use the pair to create matching front lights, whilst others may choose to install just a single line depending on their vehicle configuration.
- Are these LED light lines waterproof? — The source information confirms these are lighting upgrades from RCO's universal product range. For detailed waterproofing specifications and whether these are suitable for wet conditions or water-fording RC trucks, we recommend contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop who can provide full guidance based on your intended use.
- How do I install the LED light lines on my RC model? — Installation methods vary depending on your specific RC vehicle model and design. These universal LED light lines typically require careful positioning and may need custom mounting solutions depending on your chassis and body design. Our expert customer service team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide advice on installation approaches for your particular vehicle.
- What is the difference between the 7cm, 18cm and 29cm LED light line options? — RCO offers LED light lines in three primary lengths to suit different RC models and lighting requirements. The 7cm option is ideal for compact builds and smaller scale models; the 18cm (this product) provides substantial illumination for mid-size RC vehicles and creates noticeable dual-light setups; and the 29cm option suits larger builds where more extensive lighting coverage is desired. All are available in white or alternative colours, and all longer options are available in paired configurations for symmetrical lighting setups.
- Can these LED light lines be used for decorative purposes as well as functional lighting? — Absolutely. Many RC enthusiasts use LED light line upgrades both for practical visibility during evening running sessions and for aesthetic enhancement of their display models. The white colour is particularly popular for creating realistic headlight effects that enhance the overall appearance and detail level of scale RC builds.
