When you’d wish to illuminate your RC driving expertise with out including quite a lot of weight, then make sure to take a look at the RC F1 Gentle Combo from PhatDatRacing. This gadget, or mixture of units, features a central 12-LED brake lighting module, together with two smaller 2-LED vertical illuminators. A central controler can also be included, which prompts the lights in patterns based mostly on throttle enter.
The controller connects to your automotive’s ESC by way of an built-in y-cable, and is ready to learn inputs to find out if the automotive is beneath throttle, in impartial, or braking. Underneath throttle, no mild is proven, whereas impartial ends in a gradual blinking sample – precise braking is indicated with a a lot quicker 4Hz blink.
The usual set works with 1/tenth scale F1 RC {hardware}, however different choices are listed, and one may be capable to adapt it to different units with a little bit of tinkering. Lights have been examined with Sanwa, Futaba, and Spektrum receivers, and the combo can work with 2S and 3S setups. The entire rig weighs in at 7g, that means a negligible impact on weight distribution. The emitted photons are, in fact, massless, although PhatDadRacing notes that, “their momentum will flip eyes on the monitor.
