Default Cheap led lights.

I picked up a couple of these little 360 degree rotating lights at the dollar tree. They aren't the best but they are better than regular bulbs. I've put foru on my Axial and they light up the trail nice and bright.

Yeah but do you have to solder them to the wires?

I picked up 5 more leds yesterday. I'll post some pictures when it's finished.

where i needed longer wire, i cut 1 led out and soldered the wires together. the lights come, about 1 led every 4 or 5 inches. very easy to do! and it runs on its own batteries!
