Overview
The MyTrickRC TrickWhip2 Short Purple LED Light Whip is an ultra-bright Gen 2 scale safety whip engineered to deliver eye-catching rich purple illumination. Built on MyTrickRC's hugely popular Gen 2 TrickWhip platform after more than two years of development, the 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 short 130mm whip replicates real full-size off-road safety whips and stays clearly visible even in direct sunlight. 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.
