Axial has a neat little light controller box that plugs into your rx.

The small 2s runs this light bar for about an hour. The 2000 mili 2s runs rock lights for a few hours.. Bumper lights front and rear run off main battery.. |

If you're going to use a second dedicated lipo for lights only, you won't have any low voltage protection. You'll run the risk of over discharging the second lipo and damaging it. Sent from my modded TI-83 plus. |

This: HobbyKing™ Cellmeter-6 Lipo/Life/Li-ion Cell Checker & Alarm But pretty much any one of these will do as long as it's compatible with the battery. Batteries & Accessories>Cell Checkers/ Low Voltage Indicators | |

Or you run everything off one lipo. Then you don't need a separate low voltage alarm. I run everything off one 3s lipo. I'm using one of Heyok's light controllers plugged into my 3rd channel on my receiver. +1 on the low voltage alarm. If you're gonna run a second lipo dedicated for lights, I would definitely use a low voltage alarm of some sort! Sent from my modded TI-83 plus. | |

For one of my light bars I just use a 9 volt battery. I don't worry about low voltage; it's easy to replace. But for my other lights running off a small 3S, I should have an alarm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: Hooking Up Lights On Scx10 If it isn't connected to the esc then yes. If it's connected to the esc, the esc's low voltage gut off is fine. It's when you don't have the battery connected to anything but lights or a winch, which don't have low voltage cut off's, that you need an alarm.
