FAQs

What scale is this lighting system designed for?

This lighting system is designed for 1:14 scale RC truck models.

Can I use this system with any RC truck?

It is primarily designed for TAMIYA TRUCK models. While it may be adaptable to other brands, modifications might be required.

What types of lights does this system simulate?

It simulates travel lighting (front/rear), position lights, brake lights, and turn signals.

Does it include a separate remote control?

No, this system integrates with your existing RC radio system for control.

Is installation difficult?

Installation involves connecting wires to your RC receiver and model. Basic knowledge of RC electronics is recommended. Always refer to the specific manual for detailed instructions.

What is the 'demo mode' for?

Demo mode allows you to showcase the lighting effects of your RC truck when it is stationary, making it ideal for displays or events.

How do I power the lighting system?

The system is typically powered through your RC receiver, which in turn is powered by your model's main battery.

Troubleshooting

No lights are working.

Verify all connections are secure and correctly wired to the RC receiver and power source. Check that the RC receiver has power and the lighting system is enabled via your transmitter.

Specific lights (e.g., brake lights) are not functioning.

Ensure the corresponding channel or function on your RC transmitter is correctly assigned and calibrated. Check the wiring specific to that light function.

Lights flicker intermittently.

This could indicate a loose connection or an insufficient power supply. Inspect all wiring and ensure the power source can handle the load of the LEDs.

Demo mode not activating.

Consult the product manual for the correct procedure to activate demo mode. There might be a specific switch or command required.
