| My trick RC controller questions
I have a Team Associated LED set installed on my trx4. After a couple months, the controller box started to act stupid. Random flashing lights, no more mode adjustability. So I bought a MyTrickRC U7 light controller to use with the existing LEDs. It was the only one I could find that used the same tiny plugs to connect the LEDs. I cannot get anything to light up. I have tried the 9v battery and connected to the bec. The controller shows it is on and flashes thru all the mode settings but no LEDs come on. Any ideas ? I'd rather not rip out all the LEDs. PS, MyTrickRC does not respond to support emails. Last edited by chipgibbs; 07-22-2019 at 05:07 AM. |

I'm no electrical guru. But my first thought is that your LEDs want (for example) 5 volts and the controller is only giving 3 volts. Maybe check output voltage of both controllers?

I don't think the uf-7 has a 12v output so probably did not over volt the leds. I would check polarity. read instructions if you can find them as well. you can probably pop them out of the plug with a razor knife and swap them.
