  1. Bashing
Thinking about summer coming… it get’s really hot here in South Carolina.

I like to play after dark.

Anyone have a good light setup (on the car) that is practical for judging flips, etc, in low light.

I have a TA Rival MT10.
 
i have a few trucks with headlight and roof lights. when i drive them at night my perception is ALL wonky. SUPREMELY difficult to accurately steer at speeds, I'm constantly overcorrecting ands trying not to dance the truck over into a flip. i REALLY wanna see some vids of this nighttime bashing bro, no sarcasm lol, i love this kind of stuff.
i got some insanely bright roof lights tho, like they will blind ya, ill add a vid and a link
if you jump to 14:30 you can see the headlights really well. and see how the light looks, at 17:28 shows the roof light well. then at 18 min mark i killed the camera light and for a min its only lit from the cars lights.
my problem is that I'm going over really rough terrain so my lights are bouncing like crazy, jumping all over the place. makes it really hard to correctly judge turning.

For a cheap light controller, I always get the mytrickRC scx24 light kit. It’s about $35 and comes with some 3mm leds a set of white headlight leds, and a small size controller to plug in hi and lo power leds. It just works.

If you bash in the same area you could get some lightweight collapsible lights, like floodlights that they might use at a soccer game.
