Technical Performance
The KILLERBODY LED unit set is engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC bodies, with 3mm diameter LED components that are perfectly proportioned to match the scale and aesthetic of modern RC car builds. The LED Control Box II represents a significant advancement in RC lighting technology, offering reliable power management and control capability that ensures consistent, flicker-free operation even during active driving or dynamic movement. The colour selection of 13 LEDs has been carefully curated to represent authentic automotive lighting patterns, with the 4 white units providing primary forward illumination, the 6 orange units creating realistic turn signal and side lighting effects, and the 2 red units providing authentic rear light simulation. The 1 blue LED adds flexibility for creative expression and custom styling. The Y connecting wires are a practical engineering solution that reduces wiring complexity by allowing multiple LEDs to share a single control box output, which is particularly useful in the confined spaces of a 1/10 scale RC body where wire routing can be challenging. This kit represents tried-and-tested engineering from KILLERBODY, a recognised name in RC body customisation and lighting solutions, and has been designed with both aesthetic impact and reliable operation at the forefront of its development. The 3mm LED size ensures brightness and visibility whilst remaining proportionate to scale, and the pre-wired construction minimises the risk of installation errors.
