Product Description
TrickWhips Gen 2 build on MyTrickRC's extremely popular TrickWhip Lights. Just like the First Generation they are Super Bright, Semi-Flexible Light Tubes for your Truck, Buggy, Boat or other Vehicle. These awesome scale replicas of full scale Off Road Light Whips slice through the darkness with ease. You'll certainly grab attention on and off the trail - day or night. When TrickWhips are running at full power their color is very visible, even in direct sunlight! At night, these babies radiate vibrant color in all directions.
After more than two years in development, MyTrickRC is so excited about the final results that they even applied for a patent! It wasn't easy finding the right solution - the devil is always in the details. The great news - finally a legit Scale Light Whip that looks the way you want and expect: bright, vibrant colors that radiate brightly around the diameter and along the length.
Like all LEDs from MyTrickRC, TrickWhip Lights are carefully chosen for Optimum Brightness, Performance, and Durability. They've added two more Colors for a total of 8 different Colors (White, Red, Green, Blue, Ice Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Purple). They sell them as single Light Whips, but a lot of people get a pair for a sweet balanced look. Depending on how Bright you want them to be, you might need to get them bundled with a TrickFlex Regulator (5V to 3V or 12V to 3V).
Yes, TrickWhips are Waterproof!
NOTES:
Mount your TrickWhip so that when your vehicle crashes the spring can flex and help protect it from damage. Do NOT mount your TrickWhip in ways that cause the spring or the light tube to get bent. This might permanently damage your TrickWhip.
When mounting your TrickWhip make sure to leave about 1/2inch (13mm) of extra wire to allow for spring bending. When the spring bends, the wire gets pulled in a little. Adding this extra service loop protects your TrickWhip from damage during spring-bending crashes.
MyTrickRC designed TrickWhip Lights to be as tough as possible, but just like a real full size safety whip light mounted on your actual off road vehicle, there is only so much punishment they can take. Do not tug directly on the tube as this can cause it to separate and break. They recommend using needle-nose pliers when you need to disconnect them. Pull from the connector, NOT the flexible tube.
Do NOT pull or stretch the LEDs. Pulling the LED string can cause one or more LED pixels to stop working. Be careful to minimize twisting the LEDs during assembly.
TrickWhip Lights have a "front" side and a "back" side, and are brightest on their front side. TrickWhip Lights are more bendable front-to-back than they are side-to-side so be aware of this when installing onto your vehicle.
Secure the LEDs to your vehicle so that after installation they don't get pulled or twisted during active vehicle use. Vibration won't hurt TrickWhip Lights, but pulling and twisting can.
Can you mix two different color TrickWhip Lights on one LED Splitter? Yes! It is OK to connect different color TrickWhip Lights to a 2-way, 3-way or 4-way LED Splitter.
