• Plug-and-play installation — No soldering, splicing or electrical modifications required; simply connect the light bar to your vehicle's battery circuit and it's ready to illuminate your next run.
• Clean, tidy fitment — The carefully engineered design ensures the light bar integrates seamlessly with compatible RC vehicles, maintaining the vehicle's factory appearance and aerodynamics.

Technical Performance

The XP 5 LED Aluminium Light Bar is engineered to deliver reliable, consistent illumination for extended RC running sessions. The five LED elements produce bright, white light that significantly improves visibility for night-time driving, allowing you to maintain control and confidence even when operating after sunset. The light bar operates from either 6-cell 7.2V NiMH batteries or 2S LiPo 7.4V battery systems, making it compatible with the vast majority of ready-to-run RC cars and upgrade batteries available in the UK market. It is critical not to exceed either 6-cell 7.2V or 2S LiPo 7.4V when powering the lights, as this protects the LED circuit and ensures long-term reliability. The aluminium housing provides excellent structural integrity and thermal characteristics, helping to dissipate any minor heat generated by the LEDs whilst maintaining the light bar's alignment and finish. The plug-and-play connector design minimises installation complexity, meaning even relatively new RC enthusiasts can install this upgrade without requiring technical expertise or tools. The compact 88mm width makes it ideal for vehicles in the 1/10 scale range and smaller scales, fitting neatly on the chassis or body without affecting handling characteristics or battery fitment.
