Great light bar, would give 5 stars, but there are no specs. included as far as voltage input. The LED's contained in the bar have DC4V printed on them, it then comes down to what type of resistor they have wired in with the switch harness. I contacted Team Associated and they claimed it's good up to 3s lipo. If your running 3s Lipo, but powering this from your BEC, then the lights are seeing that voltage and not 3s LIpo voltage. I've been running this bar for months on 6.1V, no problems and brighter than daylight. I recently upgraded to a HV servo, ramped up the CCBEC to 7.4V and after 5 minutes, I notice smoke coming off the light bar wiring, where they have the switch hooked in, this contains a 4.71 ohm + or - 1% resistor wrapped in heat shrink tubing. Evidently this resistor isn't rated for the wattage developed by 7.4V input. So you may want to keep your input voltage below 7.4V. Other than that, the bar is a decent price, very bright, and has put up to numerous rollovers with only scratches to show for it. I soldered in a new resistor with a higher wattage rating and it continues to perform well.
This is a good light bar, but to say it is compatible with the Tropy Rat is misleading at best. Yes, it is compatible in the electronic sense, but there is literally no place to mount it on the body or chassis without some customization. So, FWIW, I still got mine mounted, but it is definitely not something that just bolts on the the Rat or Reflex.
THIS is a great light bar and perfect fit for a bomber, I run a ccbec on 8.4 volts for about 3 months now and no problems I would.recamend this to everyone!
I purchased this light bar from a different source and immediately noticed the resistor in the wiring becomes very hot - hot enough to burn you if you're not careful. It was plugged into the receiver running the standard 6.0v output (I double checked with a multi meter just in case)The lights are very bright however that under rated resistor kills the product for me. No longer use mine.
Reviewers agree the light bar is bright and well made. Opinions diverge on voltage: one owner ran it on 6.1V for months without issue, another on 8.4V via a CCBEC for about three months without problems, while two reviewers report overheating or smoke from the switch harness resistor, one at 6.0V and one after raising to 7.4V. The product lacks published voltage specifications, and the manufacturer reportedly cited 3S LiPo compatibility, which one reviewer felt depends on the BEC used. One verified owner found the bar compatible electrically with the Tropy Rat but said it has no straightforward mounting point and needs customisation. Reviews all refer to the 120mm kit.
- + Very bright lighting
- + Good build quality
- + Suitable for bomber-style body
- − Resistor in harness overheats
- − No voltage specifications published
- − Difficult to mount on Tropy Rat
