These things are under $3 each off ebay!! I don't know how long they will last but here you go. I mention "under $3 because I bought two of them.

That blinkning mode are awesome for construction stuff
Great vid, I think the strobe affect would be cool with underglow, making the LED diodes flash around
This is awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing 👍
Love your vids man, keep up the great work!
Strobe is cool , say for display shelf queen builds .
Great job sir ;-) 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey man, thanks for this! I've been building controllers out of old servos for awhile too. My problem with that is I cheap out and only harvest boards from old, stripped out servos and my stock only has old analog boards. Now that I'm getting newer radios they are mostly digital only and as you probably know, analog servo boards and digital receivers don't always get along. So have you had any issues with those ebay controllers heating up when used on receivers rated for digital only servos? Or is that just a Spektrum quirk? The stock stuff I took out of my TRX4 seems to not play well with analog servo boards either so I'm thinking not.
I’ve run this controller with the GT3c, gt5 and 4pls radios without issue. I’ve never had any luck with a Spektrum ground radio and I get rid of them fast. I currently have one of these on my Losi SBR with the 4pls without issue. I’ve been told that if you mix analog and digital servos on the same radio it can cause issue.
Thanks for posting this! I just ordered 4 sets just to have in my parts bin for future projects. I wonder if the light controller will still work if you run 6v or 7.2v (2s) batteries? I guess I can try in about 3-4 weeks when my order comes in :-)
Did you have any luck running this on 2S?
I am wandering, the controller receiver wire has power which is going to receiver. you have given seperate power to receiver via BEC. looks you are giving multiple inputs to receiver ?
Thank you
Hey man so I have a proline dual led lightbar 6v-12v for the xmaxx im putting on my scx10 ii 6x6 I have a castle 10a bec an a HW 1080 but the stock servo needs 6v how can i power up the lightbar to 7.4 or higher with everything else at 6v for now
the style of that light controller is the standard design used for non-surface based vehicles like drones and planes and the blinking feature is probably meant for navigation lights because as i understand it, according to the new FAA requirements all RC air vehicles that require FAA registered are also required to run blinking navigation lights the same as full size aircraft. all the surface vehicle light controllers I've seen and which i have myself, all are encased in hard plastic enclosures that kinda look like receivers. components designed for air vehicles are usually just heat shrinked instead of being enclosed a case to save weight, that's my best guess....
Ahhh quad lights. That makes total sense. For a ground vehicle i have no idea what they would be used for.
for some reason rc drifters are big on flashing lights especially the asian and european drifters
Ok I’m not a drifter guy so I guess hey do things differently.
it just dawn on me, my light controller is made for surface vehicles and it doesn't matter what size battery i use because it pulls all it's power from the servo leads, it doesn't even connect to the battery. i was looking at the sellers page and that controller is 3S only with an output of 12v so there's no voltage regulating circuit just current limiting so it doesn't blow the led's and your led's have to be wired with there own voltage reducing circuit so they can run at 12v right?
How will can I run lights like that with a big battery hooked up
“3 outputs not really sure what for” - maybe 3 lights..... ?
I just now got one I'm using a up to 12v proline xmaxx dual led bar an some cheap lights on my front bumper an probably gonna add more any advice I'm still new to the hobby would definitely help
And what bec do I need
Well all I can say is what radio do you have to control everything? I’d look for a castle 10a bec as its programmable with a castle link

X01xCOUNTRYx01X ok cool that should do it. If you find yourself needing more channels I sell the 8ch gt3c radios.
Nice video cool way to do it
That was as close to unscripted as I can get and not be too crazy.
Exocaged RC awesome
the wire you disconnected from channel 3. Please reconnect it and see if TAPPING the input on that channel will switch which lights are on. What you are doing is holding that channel on and the set is running through it's possible options. Try connecting it to channel 2 (for testing my theory) and 'blip' the throttle .... You'll get only the round lights ... then with another blip you'll get the round lights and one light bar, and with the next blip you'll get both light bars .. etc. Please?
I’ll have to see if I even have any of these left. If I recall correctly I did something similar when I was figuring them out and they only operate under full on position. Simple momentary style is just a quick on/off. Ch2 shouldn’t affect ch3 unless they are mixed with programming.
@@ExocagedRC why'd u get rid of them?? Problems?
chris chovanec just didn’t need them and wanted a cleaner installation
Thanks for the vid. Link is broken. Could you add the name of the item that you purchased on ebay?
oh wow, yeah this is an old one. I found this on ebay for fairly cheap ebay.us/DLGy17
@@ExocagedRC Much appreciated!
