TrickWhips 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.
There is more to TrickWhips than just the Light Whip itself. One of the great aspects of TrickWhips is they allow several options on how you can power them. TrickWhips have the ability to be brightness controlled depending on how much Voltage you use to power them (3V MAX). TrickWhip's light up beautifully when plugged into a Low Power Port on any of MyTrickRC's Lighting Controllers.
Want to get MyTrickRC's Legendary Insane Brightness from your TrickWhip Light? MyTrickRC offers two options to get Insane Brightness from TrickWhip Lights:
1. Simply power through a TrickFlex 5V to 3V Regulator connected to any High Power Port on their HB-2 or DG-1 Dragon Controllers. The TrickFlex 5V to 3V Regulator ensures you get the correct power to your TrickWhip Lights. It's that simple... and safe. You can power up to six TrickWhip Lights from one TrickFlex 5V to 3V Regulator.
2. Power through a TrickFlex 12V to 3V Regulator connected to your Receiver. With MyTrickRC's TrickFlex 12V to 3V Regulator you don't even need one of their Controllers - you can just power directly from your Receiver. The TrickFlex 12V to 3V Regulator can handle an input voltage up to 12V. This actually means that you can power the TrickFlex 12V to 3V Regulator from any power source up to 12V, such as a 9V Battery or even a DC power supply.
Like all LEDs from MyTrickRC, TrickWhip Lights are carefully chosen for Optimum Brightness, Performance, and Durability.
NOTES
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.
