| PowerShift Technologies light setup
I am really liking the Powershift Technologies light kits. Very good quality and easy plug into balance port of battery. No need to use the Batt / Bind port on receiver. I also ordered the light controller so I could turn the lights all off / on. Here is the headlight / tail light kit along with the rock light kit. I did not get the instrument panel kit they sell. Maybe down the road but that part does not interest me. Next is a nice 6" LED light bar for the roof! |

Very nice. I have a set of lights and rock lights coming for mine. Jonathan is a great builder and really cares about quality and customers.

Been wanting to get a set of lights, these look nice. Website is sparse though on info for a newbie like me. What do I need to 1.)power and 2.) Control with a channel (on\off) the OEM kit and rock light kit? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

2. You can purchase the remote control for 5.00. Now you can ask if PST can solder this up for you or you can solder in the controller between the Balance Port plug and the JST pigtail so that it operates all lights plugged into the pigtail. This is what I did when I received them. The controller also has light modes that make them flash in various sequences where you can adjust the mode, speed, and brightness. You don't need the controller. You can also just not plug them in if running during the day and plug them in when it is dark out. Those are the three items I purchased above and it was all plug and play except for wiring in the controller to control all lights. If you ask in the comments of the order he may solder this in for you so it is all plug and play. Does not hurt to ask. ***EDIT*** I just noticed he has a switch to install for using an extra channel in your radio to turn the lights on and off. You won't get the controller that lets you make the lights blink and adjust their brightness but that may not be something you care about. Either way this PST 2 Position Switch Will allow you to turn them on off via your transmitter and provide a full 12V to the lighting system! You may just need to ask that the rock light and other light systems are soldered to join up to this switch so it will be plug and play for you. He may do that automatically when you add that switch to your cart but to be sure add a memo in the comments of the order. Last edited by $uicide $hift; 05-02-2020 at 09:11 AM. | |

The solder / shrink wrap work on these wire kits is extremely clean and solid. The man has some talent when it comes to soldering these kits up. My son just got the Team Raffee Cherokee truck body and for just $10.00 he'll get two front white / 2 front orange and two rear red / 2 rear orange that fit that body. I will be putting in a new order for this when I figure out exactly what else I want. | |

I'm new to crawling so please forgive me if I'm asking silly questions. I like these light setups and will likely get these for my truck. What is the benefit/need for the rock lights? I'm assuming these are only useful at night time, correct? I currently run my 2s shorty batteries with bullet plugs that don't have a balance plug. Would I just cut off the jst connector and solder to the bullet plugs? |

You have a few choices to connect these lights to your rig with your 2S battery that does not have a balance port. 1. Buy a balance port and solder it along with the + / - wires to the battery posts you plug into your battery. I have a few like this for that style type of battery. 2. Buy a new 3S battery that has a balance port! 3. Purchase the PST - Light Booster. Using 2 cell the LEDs will not go as bright as they can. With this option you can plug one end into your receiver and the other to the lights. It will boost the power to 12V for the LEDs so they will be full bright. No need to connect lights to a balance port with this option. | |

Hey guys, I've got a quick question. I recently picked up the LED set below. I'm fairly new to the hobby and this is my first crawler. The description says it's completely plug and play right out of the bag. I plugged it into the receiver on my TRX4 Sport and the lights won't turn on. I am running a 3S battery and the FlySky GT5 with the FS-BS6 receiver. Don't I just plug the JST port into the receiver and these lights should turn on? Or am I missing something? https://www.amainhobbies.com/powersh...wr-068/p797389 |

https://www.amainhobbies.com/powersh...iABEgJ0v_D_BwE I used an XT60 power tap as an example but you can get something similar in pretty much any connector that you may be using. | |

Thanks for the response! I actually gave them a call and spoke to someone at Powershift. They recommended that I get this. It should boost the power to 12V and allow me to control the lights (on/off) with the radio. I ordered it, hopefully it will work! https://store11415794.ecwid.com/PST-...itch-p85299057 |
