I have been looking around quite a bit, and have been having trouble finding what I am looking for in a light controller/lighting kit. In the most boiled down sense of it, I am looking for headlights, taillights, brake lights, with the expandibility for rock lights and a light bar, that can all be toggled on/off on a single channel. Has anyone run any of the listed kits, or found a different solution, including homemade that has worked similarly?
Taking a look at the Traxxas kits, the propriatary nature, and the "pro scale" option being the only one with brake lights, and for brushed only, it crosses itsself of the list.
MyTrickRC had some cool options, but having ordered one recently that the lighting controller literally fell apart in the packaging (insulation on main wire cracked and fell off, light connector fell off the board, missing the top of the programming switch) in addition to support being near non-existant and taking over a week to reply, if there was any reply at all, I would rather support a different company, if the option is there.
RC4WD makes some cool lights, but their controller lacks a brake function, and I am not a fan of having to carry and use a totally separate remote.
Vanquish Products has the Incision Stage 1 light kit, which I really like the slimness of, but it doesn't seem very expandable to me. I would be willing to sacrifice the brake lights for this kit, if I could also add rock lights, and a light bar. Possible 2 of these on 2 channels, one for standard (front/rear), and one for extra (light bar/rock lights)?
Admittedly, I am a bit hesitant for some of the more ""basic"" kits like the Redcat, Axial, or even the Yeah Racing controllers due to the lack of documentation on light bar/rock light compatibility.
