Description
With any DIY or store-bought light kit installed on your RC body, you'd traditionally need to connect the positive and negative wires into the receiver, or a power source on the chassis. Problem is it is easy to forget these wires are connected so when the body is taken off, the wire gets pulled and sometimes even snapped. Here's a simple working solution to eliminate the chassis-to-body wires, and get the lights working at the same time!
Check out the .gif for a quick demonstration.
How it works:
Power source (+ - S) or (+ -) wires from the receiver or BEC connects to 3 (or 2) separate springs to conduct the power to the LEDs. This connector will be mounted to the body post holders. (see pics)
The receiving end, i.e. the wires from body's LEDs, soldered and connected to 3 separate tabs mounted to the body's connector, will come into contact with the springs from the power source when the body is mounted. Thus completing the circuit and powering the lights. (see pics)
What you'll need:
Instructions:
Chassis light connector
Body light connector
.Step file also included in case if you need to do any modifications for your build.
