Light Bars

[powder4breakfast]

Wondering if anyone has found a great option yet that does not require trimming etc...

The Gear Head Trek Torch 5" looks perfect; but, the description states that it cannot be run directly off of Lipo.

I have all my lights currently wired into a separate 1300 mAh battery with room to add my light bars. I really don't want to add another battery power source.

I otherwise really like that this item is ready to go without modding the rack or light itself regarding fitment. Why would they not make this item 12V?

The Darth Sprocket light bar is a direct fit, 1 washer on each side of the bar is all it takes to bolt on. I think I used the thin plastic shims off one of the shock part trees. It is wired directly to the 3s battery through a Turnigy receiver controlled switch.

5 inch light bar on 3s

D.P.C.

Exactly what I did. Wired direct to the battery.



That said, I just got handed a new bar from Phoenix Designs that I literally had to put sunglasses on for. Mr. Barton is a bad man...

Are these the LED strips everyone is talking about?

I run the regular version bar on my x2. Try it on 4s, just don't look into the light!

Add some picture when you get it,just to see how its bolted to the roof rack.As far as i could see,nobody makes a direct fitment to the roofrack

I ordered the low pro mount so I'll see how I mount it. I was thinking on the body anyways but I might make something work when it arrives

I drilled new holes in mine as well. Leveled with the rack. Still haven't used it though [emoji53]

Cool. That's the one I ordered

The only issue I had was the strip began to come off of the housing...but a quick shot of shoo goo or E6000 took care of it.

After so long time since the kit was released,nobody makes a bolt-on light bar on the roof rack?

Yes they do. Axial led bar kit has several led bars, including one that fits exactly.

Part number?

THX allot...found it

I have been picky in waiting for the right light bar that floats my boat. I have wanted a bar that looks realistic, mounts direct to the JCR rack without modification and can run off 3s. Axial's bar that fits the JCR rack looks right and mounts right; but, leaves 8 wires out the back and takes away from the look. I ran that bar for a while unwired.

Finally I found and went with Pro-Line's 5" curved light bar. Very bright. Mounts up to the JCR rack without modification of the rack. It can run off 6V or 12V direct. I feel it looks realistic with it's bulb style.
