Z-E0016

Overview

The RC4WD LED BASIC LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR MOJAVE II 2/4 DOOR BODY (Z-E0016) is the ultimate upgrade for anyone looking to add scale realism and night-time visibility to their RC crawler or trail truck. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast running your Trail Finder 2 with Mojave Body at dusk, or a weekend basher exploring night terrain, this plug-and-play LED lighting system transforms your rig into a genuine-looking scale vehicle with authentic lighting that rivals full-size vehicles. Designed specifically for the RC4WD Mojave Body, this complete 12-LED array brings your 1/10 scale RC truck to life with working headlights, tail lights, and marker lights that enhance both the visual appeal and practical visibility of your model.

RC lighting systems have become increasingly popular among RC car enthusiasts in the UK and worldwide, as they add that final touch of scale authenticity that separates a basic model from a truly impressive display or working vehicle. The RC4WD LED Basic Lighting System achieves this without the complexity of hardwiring or soldering—it's a straightforward, user-friendly upgrade that connects directly to your receiver's spare port. This makes it perfect for beginners exploring LED upgrades for the first time, as well as experienced RC builders who want a reliable, pre-assembled solution that saves time and hassle.

What sets this system apart is its thoughtful engineering for the Mojave body specifically. Every component has been positioned and configured to work seamlessly with the body's design, and the inline extension allows you to disconnect the LED loom quickly when removing the body from your chassis. This is a genuine quality-of-life feature that demonstrates RC4WD's understanding of how their products are actually used in the field.

Key Features

• Complete 12-LED Lighting Array — This system includes a carefully balanced mix of 12 individual LEDs positioned to replicate a full-size truck's lighting scheme, providing both functional night visibility and authentic scale appearance.
• Mixed LED Configuration — The system features 2 white 5mm LEDs for main headlights, 2 white 3mm LEDs for secondary lighting, 2 amber 3mm LEDs for turn indicators or side markers, and 6 red 3mm LEDs for tail and brake lights, giving your Mojave a complete, realistic lighting profile.
• Plug-and-Play Receiver Connection — Instead of requiring complex soldering or permanent installation, this system draws power directly from a spare receiver port, making installation straightforward enough for beginners whilst remaining reliable for experienced builders.
• Modular LED Design — Every pair of LEDs can be unplugged independently, allowing you to customise which lights are active, swap out individual units if needed, or disable specific lights for different running scenarios.
• Extended Wire Harness — The system features 35.82 inches (910mm) of carefully routed wiring, providing ample length to reach all corners of the Mojave Body whilst maintaining a clean, scale-correct appearance.
• Inline Extension for Easy Body Removal — A dedicated extension connector allows you to disconnect the entire LED system quickly without unplugging individual lights, making chassis maintenance and body swaps fast and convenient.
• Designed for Mojave Body Compatibility — This system is specifically engineered for the RC4WD Mojave Body, ensuring perfect fitment and pre-planned LED positioning that looks authentic and professional.
• Receiver-Powered Operation — By drawing power from your receiver rather than requiring a separate battery or controller input, the system simplifies wiring whilst providing consistent, stable power during your runs.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD LED Basic Lighting System represents intelligent engineering focused on delivering reliable scale lighting without unnecessary complexity. The 12-LED configuration balances visual impact with power efficiency; white LEDs provide bright, realistic headlights that genuinely improve visibility when running your RC truck at dusk or in low-light conditions, whilst the mixed 3mm and 5mm sizing allows for both prominent main lights and subtle detail lighting that enhances scale realism. The amber LEDs serve as authentic turn signal indicators, and the six red LEDs distributed as tail lights and brake indicators create the full lighting package you'd expect from a genuine 1/10 scale replica. The total wire length of 35.82 inches (910mm) is thoughtfully calculated to extend from the receiver area through the body's interior and out to all lighting positions, with enough slack for clean routing that doesn't create tension when the body is installed or removed. The system's power draw is minimal because it operates on the low voltage available from a spare receiver channel, making it compatible with any receiver that has an available port. The modular design—where every pair of LEDs can be unplugged—means you're not locked into a fixed configuration; if you only want headlights and tail lights active, you can disconnect the amber markers. This flexibility is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts in the UK and beyond who may want different lighting setups for different terrains or event requirements. The inline extension is a practical engineering solution that saves time during maintenance; rather than carefully disconnecting all 12 LED pairs, you simply disconnect one extension, and you're free to lift the body off the chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RC4WD LED Basic Lighting System suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most beginner-friendly LED lighting systems available for RC trucks. Because it connects directly to a spare receiver port rather than requiring soldering or complex wiring, anyone with basic RC experience can install it in minutes. The pre-assembled, modular design means there's no calibration or configuration needed; you plug it in and the lights work immediately.
• Can I use this system if I don't have a spare receiver port? — You will need a spare port on your receiver to power this system, as it draws power directly from the receiver rather than from a separate battery or controller. Most modern RC receivers include multiple ports specifically for accessories like lighting systems, so this is rarely an issue, but you should check your receiver's specifications before purchasing.
• What makes the inline extension connector useful? — The inline extension is a genuinely practical feature for anyone who regularly maintains or modifies their RC truck. Instead of carefully unplugging multiple individual LED pairs when you need to remove the body from the chassis, you simply disconnect the extension. This single disconnect point saves time and reduces the risk of accidentally damaging delicate wiring or connectors.
• Can I disconnect individual LEDs if I don't want all of them active? — Yes, the system is designed so that every pair of LEDs can be unplugged independently. This means you can customise the lighting to your preferences—perhaps you want only headlights and tail lights, or perhaps you want full lighting for realistic night running. The modular approach gives you complete flexibility.
• Is this system designed specifically for the Mojave Body? — Yes, this system is engineered specifically for the RC4WD Mojave Body (both 2-door and 4-door versions). The LED positions, wire routing, and connector design are all optimised for this body's specific layout and dimensions. Whilst it may be possible to adapt it to other bodies, it is designed and tested for the Mojave.
• How bright are the LEDs? — The 5mm white LEDs serve as the main headlights and are designed to be genuinely functional, providing real illumination during night runs or low-light conditions. The 3mm LEDs provide supplementary lighting and detail work. The brightness is appropriate for a 1/10 scale model and balances visual impact with power consumption and scale authenticity.
• Will this system work with any Trail Finder 2 chassis? — The LED system is designed for any RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis fitted with a Mojave Body, provided your receiver has at least one spare port available for the power connection. The Trail Finder 2 is a highly modular platform, so compatibility is excellent.
• Is this product still in stock? — At the time of this listing, the RC4WD LED Basic Lighting System for Mojave Body is currently discontinued and no longer regularly stocked.
