The X-Maxx LED Light Kit is the only light kit worthy of the X-Maxx name. Built to handle brutal real-world punishment, this light kit is waterproof and built Traxxas Tough™ for maximum fun. Blaze a path through the night with this intense-white high-output LED light kit.
Traxxas innovation delivers features and performance not found on any other lighting system. The included high voltage amplifier packs the muscle to efficiently power both high-power light bars in the kit while minimizing losses from excessive current and heat. The tightly regulated output provides stable lighting performance, without flickering or dimming as the battery voltage changes. In another Traxxas first, the smart brake lights work when brakes are applied in both forward and reverse directions. This eliminates the common and annoying problem with generic aftermarket systems that turn on the brake lights while reversing.
X-MAXX LED LIGHT KIT (#7885) INCLUDES:
- High-output bumper mounted LED light bar
- Multi-function rear LED light bar
- High-voltage 8-channel power amplifier for intense, brilliant LED lighting
- Regulated output for stable lighting performance
- (no flickering or dimming as the battery voltage changes)
- Breakaway cable helps to prevent damage when removing body
- Light bar mounts and wiring connectors
Wiring is simple: Plug the main connector from the power amplifier into the power port on the Traxxas VXL-8s Electronic Speed Control, and then plug the individual lighting modules into the power amplifier. Switch between three manual lighting modes on the power amplifier (such as high beam and low beam), or use the Traxxas Link app and Wireless Module (#6511*) to control individual lights remotely and create custom lighting configurations. Of course, since it’s from Traxxas, this powerful, feature-rich system is rugged and fully waterproof for all of your exciting RC adventures.
High-Voltage Power - X-Maxx LED Light Kit (#7885)High-Voltage Power
Rather than draw valuable power away from the BEC, the power amplifier uses the Power Port on the VXL-8s ESC to tap power directly from the batteries. The power amplifier transforms and regulates battery current to for reliable high-power performance.
Traxxas Link App
Technology
Customize your setup with three different lighting modes on the amplifier. Use the Traxxas Link App* to further customize the lighting modes to your specifications or turn the lights on and off directly in the app. The kit includes all mounting hardware to make installation a breeze.

Important Install Tips
Before installing the Rear LED, ask yourself: 1. Do I bash my truck so hard the body often comes off the chassis? 2. Am I good with a cordless drill and have 3-4M size drill bits? If yes, mount the rear LED UNDER the bumper, slightly recessed. I did it using thin metal plates with 3M adhesive, like the ones for magnetizing phones to mounts... super cheap on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CJ453V6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Chose this aluminum bc it's thick enough for abuse but flexible enough not to wreck other parts if hit hard. Used (2) small #6 flat head screws (after drilling holes in the bumper mount), attaching M3 bolts through the light bar mount to a locking nut (so it won't wiggle loose). Then I just used zip ties and electrical tape on the fragile wires that connect the light to the extension harness.

Essential for X-Maxx
This light kit is awesome, super bright, even on a sunny day you can see it no problem. The Bluetooth link app gives you sweet control over the lights, way more than most kits out there. The rear bumper could be improved though. It'd be better if Traxxas made it to fit the light bar like the front one does. Right now, it mounts on the rear cab "window" of the body, which sucks if you bash like you're supposed to. When the body flies off, that thin cable is gonna get yanked out and break. If you're patient and handy w/ a utility knife, you can fit the bar where it looks like it should go, but wasn't finished. I've been using the Traxxas TRX-4 light kit on my crawler, and even though it's not as bright, it's held up well through water, snow, and mud for a year. Also, if you're using the Traxxas Telemetry Expander module for GPS or volt/temp readings, mount the power amp on the steering turnbuckle below where Traxxas suggests. This way, the Expander gets a clear view of the sky.
