Setup and Installation

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your RC vehicle is powered off and the battery is disconnected. Remove the #8130 body from the chassis.
2. Mounting Brackets: If not already present, install the necessary light mounting brackets onto the chassis or body. The light block typically mounts to a bracket that attaches to the frame.

6. Wiring Connections: Connect the wiring harnesses from each light component to the main light control module or power supply. Ensure all connections are firm and correctly polarized. Refer to your vehicle's specific wiring diagram if available.
7. Secure Wiring: Route and secure all wiring to prevent interference with moving parts or damage during operation. Use zip ties or adhesive clips as needed.
8. Connect Power: Connect the light set's power input to a compatible power supply on your RC vehicle.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and connected to a power source, the Traxxas TRA8039 LED Light Set will typically activate with the vehicle's main power system. Depending on your vehicle's electronic speed control (ESC) or light control module, you may have options to control the lights independently. Refer to your vehicle's specific manual for details on light control functions.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED lenses with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the polycarbonate lens material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the lights are securely mounted.
• Waterproof Feature: While the lights are designed to be waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water jets, which could compromise seals over time. After exposure to water, allow the lights to air dry completely.
• Storage: When not in use, store your RC vehicle and light set in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Lights Not Working:
  • Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly plugged in.
  • Verify the power supply is functioning and providing adequate voltage to the light set.
  • Inspect for any visible damage to the wires or LED components.
• Individual Lights Not Illuminating:
  • Confirm the specific light's wiring is properly connected to the main harness.
  • If a single LED is out, it may indicate a faulty component or a break in its individual wire.
• Flickering Lights:
  • This can indicate a loose connection or an inconsistent power supply. Recheck all connections and the power source.
