Overview
The MyTrickRC TrickWhip2 Medium Red LED Light Whip is an ultra-bright Gen 2 scale safety whip engineered to deliver eye-catching bold red illumination. Built on MyTrickRC's hugely popular Gen 2 TrickWhip platform after more than two years of development, the medium-length, semi-flexible LED tube radiates uniform, high-intensity color around its full diameter and length — slicing through darkness day or night.
Whether you're running an off-road crawler, scale truck, buggy, boat, or custom show vehicle, this 175mm medium whip strikes the perfect balance between visibility and ground clearance for 1/10 scale builds. It's waterproof, crash-resistant thanks to its heavy-duty spring base, and ready to mount on roll cages, body panels, or whip bases right out of the box.
