Axial SCX6 - Rock Lights

Here is my take on rock lights for the SCX6. These have been out crawling and tested so I’m good with releasing them for everyone!

You’ll need to do some printing, drilling and soldering so be prepared. 

Printing:

You’ll need to print all the items included along with a total of 4 screw retainers; if you want to use washers that’d work as well; you’re just making sure you don’t get a pull through. 

Assembly - Front:

You’ll want to use the template provided; I’d do the screw holes first, then use screws to hold the template piece while you use the larger drill bit (3 holes and some hobby knife work will do it) to make the hole for the light to shine through. 

Assembly - Rear:

Again use the template provided and make your holes.

Wiring

Starting from the driver-front pod you’ll want to get measure out wires to the rear driver-side pod. Then wires from that driver-rear to the passenger-rear pod and then back up to the front-passenger. The front-passenger also gets an extra lead to plug into your 3S battery. My suggestion would be to do all your wiring, test it and the move to install.

Assembly - Final

The LEDs should slide in from the top, and should be pretty easy. The rears, you need to put the LED strip through the hole first, then slide it into the holder.
