Default NEW! Waterproof Trail Torch!

NEW! Waterproof Trail Torch!

Gear Head RC 1/10 Scale Trail Torch LED Light Bar - Waterproof

FREE Trail Torch Mounting Tab Template


13 Ultra Bright white LEDs in a Low Profile CNC Machined Delrin housing

NOW Waterproof! Ligh bar can run completely submerged!

Approx. 4.25" long.

Includes mounting ears for M2 screws.

Easily connects to an available AUX port on your receiver or an external 3 or 4 battery holder (AAA or AA).

Designed to run on 5.0 to 6.0 volts

Cannot be connected straight to a Lipo or Nimh pack. If coming from the vehicle pack, please use a BEC to regulate voltage to 5V. Connecting to an improper power source will void the warranty.

These LEDs are rated at 12,000 mcd each x 13 = a ridiculous 156,000 mcd

MADE IN THE U.S.A.

What did you guys do to make it water proof? Just curious cause I have a non water proof version and it would be sweet if it could be waterproof.

We encapsulate the PCB in a black epoxy potting compound.

You are right, an LED's die and lens are waterproof, but its leads (legs) are not. The other components on our board are also waterproof on their own, but susceptible to corrosion. By potting the entire PCB and the leads of the LEDs, this waterproof version will last much longer if your truck is constantly getting wet and/or muddy.
