Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium 36 LED Light Bar is engineered with both performance and aesthetics in mind. The aluminium body ensures excellent durability whilst keeping weight to a minimum, which is critical for RC crawlers and trail trucks where every gram impacts climbing ability and handling characteristics. The 36 individual LEDs are distributed across the length of the bar, providing even, bright illumination that functions effectively in both outdoor daytime conditions and evening running sessions. The side cab mount configuration makes this light bar compatible with a wide range of popular RC crawler and scale truck body styles, including Traxxas TRX-4, Axial Racing models, and other platforms where scale realism is valued. The mounting hardware is robust and designed to withstand the vibrations and impacts common to off-road RC use. Whether you are operating your RC vehicle on rugged terrain or displaying it at RC events, this light bar maintains its appearance and functionality through regular use. The LED technology ensures long service life compared to traditional bulbs, reducing the need for replacement and providing consistent brightness throughout the LED lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Fastrax 36 LED Light Bar fit my RC crawler? — This light bar is designed with universal side cab mounts, making it compatible with a wide range of RC crawlers and scale trucks including popular models from Traxxas, Axial Racing, and other manufacturers. However, compatibility depends on your specific vehicle's cab design and mounting points, so it is recommended to verify that your model has suitable mounting locations before purchasing.
- Does this LED light bar actually work or is it just for display? — The 36 LEDs provide genuine illumination that functions effectively during evening and night-time running. The lights are bright enough to improve visibility when operating your RC vehicle in low-light conditions, whilst also serving the aesthetic purpose of enhancing scale realism during daytime display and events.
- What power source do the LEDs require? — The source materials do not specify the exact power requirements or connection method for the LED light bar. It is recommended to contact RC Model Shop or check the detailed product manual for information regarding power connections, voltage compatibility, and wiring specifications before installation.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Fastrax 36 LED Light Bar is suitable for RC enthusiasts at any skill level. Installation with the included side cab mounts is straightforward, and the product requires no technical knowledge beyond basic mechanical assembly. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their RC crawler or scale truck with minimal complexity.
- Will the aluminium body rust or corrode? — Aluminium is naturally corrosion-resistant and significantly more durable than steel in outdoor conditions. This makes the Fastrax light bar ideal for RC vehicles that operate in wet or muddy environments, as the material will maintain its appearance and integrity even with regular exposure to moisture and challenging terrain.
- Can I use this on a ready to run RC crawler? — Yes, the Fastrax 36 LED Light Bar is suitable for installation on ready to run RC models from any manufacturer. As an aftermarket accessory, it enhances and customises your existing vehicle without requiring any modification to the vehicle's core systems or performance characteristics.
