Select the Installation Location: Choose a location for the LED strips to be mounted on your RC car or airplane, such as the wings, underbody, or model truck chassis.
Clean the Surface: The area where the LED strips will be affixed should be cleaned before to installation. Better adhesion is guaranteed on a dry, clean surface.

Measure and Cut if Needed: If necessary, measure the LED strip’s length against the area you wish to light up and cut it appropriately.
Place the LED Strips: Make sure the LED strips are firmly positioned in the areas you have chosen.

Apply Adhesive or Mounting Tape: For a firm grip, affix the LED strips with mounting tape or double-sided adhesive.
Connect the Y-Cable: Connect the Y-cable connectors to the power source of your RC model as well as the LED strips.

Verify Voltage Compatibility: To avoid damaging the LED strips, make sure your power supply’s voltage is between 4 and 6 volts.
Test the Lights: After everything is connected, turn on your remote control model and make sure the LED strips are lighting up correctly.

Secure Loose Wires: To prevent interference with other parts or moving parts, tuck any loose wires away with clips or zip ties.
Modify the Strips: If necessary, modify the LED strips’ positioning to guarantee that they are correctly oriented and aligned for optimal impact.
Install the Battery: Make sure the LED strips are receiving power properly by installing the battery in your RC model if you haven’t already.
