I honestly tried searching, but I must not be using the right terms (lights, lighting, night??).

I'd like to play with my RC10B3 runner at night and want to hook up some sturdy lights. What do you guys recommend? I need to place them somwhere that they don't get killed from rollover crashes!

I've seen tons of those kits on eBay--do a search for LED RC kit or something, I just did that and came up with 55 hits.

Here's a few:

The only hard part is fabricating a way to mount or house the LED bulbs.

Not sure what lighting kit they used, but entertaining nonetheless...

I must build a crawler now

It's kind of ghetto, but I've attached a small LED flashlight to the hood of my crawler with blue painter's tape for some night excursions.

You could possibly mount a flashlight on the inside of the roof so it shines through the windshield and won't get damaged.

Use these light pods or something similar. I was thinking of using a Traxxas Slash front light bar or getting a roof mounted light bar from something else. RPM has a light bar and you could just add led's to that.

I just ordered this setfor testing in a scaler im building, It looks a lot like the 3Racing kit. I will see how it works when it arrives, Its pretty basic but should be ok for what i have in mind
