Light Bars
 
Anyone tried a light bar other than the axial universal? I am curious if something like the Gear Heads trail torch or the like would fit in the roof rack.

A 5" bar should fit.

I got myself this one. It clamps onto the front of the roof rack. I haven't installed it yet though. If I want to run multiple light kits/bars, how do I power them all? If it was just one, I'd hook up to my receiver, but what do I do if it's 2 or more?

Forgot the link!

how much trimming does the 5" require?

In my opinion the 4" bar looks ugly.I will wait untill someone VP or axial does on option for a proper lightbar to fit there

You would need to take out the stubs on the sides and then some. IMO not worth it with a VP light bar.

It says the opening is 5.2, the gear head 5" bar is 5.24 - may work

Has anyone tried that GearHead 5" bar yet to see if it fits without much trimming?

Axial has an option already:

Axial Racing - Universal Rigid Light Bar Set

The medium sized light bar from the kit should be a direct bolt-in.

I'm planning on getting it installed this weekend on my SCX10 II, and can post pics when that is installed.

Yes Axial has one I'm just not fond of it so looking for alternatives. It seemed as others said that the Gearhead was close so was just wondering if anyone has tried it.

Axial one looks good if you install a led strip instead of regular 5mm led.

Re: Light Bars
 
So how is light output with led strip vs 5mm leds?

But the 4" light bar only requires longer screws and some long spacers and it fits really nice and looks good.

Does anyone know what size the VP light bar side screws are? M2,5, 2,6 or some size using ye olde legacy measuring system? They are larger than M2 and smaller than M3.
2.5mm unless they are English threads. then they may be #4-40.

This is on 9v, had a hard time taking pictures of them on 12v, was just to bright for my camera to take descent pictures without messing with the exposure.

Where do you get your strips?

AngelowDoom 07-15-2016 08:42 AM
Re: Light Bars
 
Buy them on eBay, they sell them in rolls, you just cut up the length you want, and solder wires to them.

Link to the eBay led rolls you used?
