Each TRX-4® and TRX-6™ model has its own unique LED light kit package (lights and wiring) and Pro Scale Lighting Installation Kit (listed below, each sold
separately). The included instructions cover installation of the mounting system and a wiring diagram specific to the model. If you have already installed a
Traxxas LED light kit on your TRX-4 or TRX-6 model, the installed lights are compatible with the Pro Scale Advanced Lighting Control System, except for
the Land Rover® Defender®, which requires a new LED light kit with additional lighting positions. Visit Traxxas.com/ProScaleLighting for additional information.
The Traxxas Pro Scale® Advanced Lighting Control System consists of two major electronic components: the Pro Scale Lighting Power Module (LPM)
and the Pro Scale Lighting Distribution Block (LDB). The LPM installs on the chassis of the vehicle and performs as the voltage regulator and power
supply for the lighting system. It also controls various lighting functions through the two buttons on the face of the module and communicates with
the receiver in the model via the communication cable (or the optional included MAXX® Link cable for models equipped with a TQi radio system). The
LDB mounts in the body of the vehicle and is the distribution hub for all the various wired lights in the body. Its main function is to direct power and
instructions to each of the installed lights to operate features such as brake lights, tail lights, reverse lights, turn signals, and high/low beam lighting.
There is only one rugged breakaway wiring connector between the LDB and the LPM for reliable lighting performance, plus it makes it easy to remove
the body for vehicle service. The connector is designed to break away from the vehicle, without damage, if the body comes off the vehicle in a crash.
There are lighting channels on the LPM which allow lighting installed on the chassis to be permanently connected and integrated into the system. This is
helpful to install features such as rock lights, bumper lights, and other chassis-mounted accessory lighting.
Tools required:
• 2.0mm hex wrench (part #3415, sold separately)
• Wire cutters (to trim zip ties)
• Small needle nose pliers

to the Pro Scale Lighting Module.

POWER MODULE INSTALLATION
Remove the 8028 LED lights power supply from the chassis (if installed). Install the
Power Module mount on the chassis with the included 2.5x10mm countersunk
cap screw; then, install the Lighting Power Module on the mount with the
included 2.5x12mm (1) and 2.5x18mm (1) cap screws (Fig.1).
COMMUNICATION CABLES
Your Pro Scale Advanced Lighting Control System
includes two communication cables: the Receiver
Communication Cable and the optional MAXX® Link
Cable. You can use the Receiver Communication
Cable with any TRX-4 or TRX-6 model. The MAXX
Link Cable is designed for use only with TRX-4 or
TRX-6 models equipped with the TQi receiver. The
6511 Traxxas Link Wireless Module (sold separately)
is required for Traxxas Link App functionality. Some
models may require a software update for the TQi
receiver via the Traxxas Link App for custom lighting
controls and configurations.
Only use one of the communication cables
to connect the Lighting Power Module to the
receiver. Do not use both cables together. MAXX®Link Cable
3. Remove the receiver box cover by removing the three 3x8mm button-head cap screws (Fig 5).
4. Remove the wire clamp by removing the two 2.5x8mm cap screws (Fig 5).
5. Feed the loose end of the Receiver Communication Cable connector over the wire guide and into
the receiver box. To make installation easier, unplug and remove a few of the existing wires from
the receiver box. Note the locations of any unplugged wires. Use needle nose pliers to help
grab the connectors and pull them through. Arrange all wires neatly between the wire guides in
the receiver box (Fig. 6). The excess wire will be bundled inside the receiver box.
6. Apply a bead of the included silicone grease
to the wire clamp (Fig. 7).
7. Reinstall the wire clamp and tighten the two
2.5x8mm cap screws securely (Fig. 8).
8. Unplug the electronic speed control (ESC)
from the receiver (channel 2).
9. Plug the communication cable into the
receiver (Fig. 9): the black connector with
the single blue wire plugs into one of the
channel 1 ports; the female black connector
with the 3 black wires plugs into the channel
2 port. Now, plug the black male connector
(white, red, black servo cable) from the ESC
into the black female connector (white, red,
black servo cable) on the communication
cable (refer to the Wiring Diagram for more
detail). Leave the steering servo cable
plugged into the other channel 1 port.
10. Make sure the blue o-ring gasket is properly
seated in the groove in the receiver box so
that the cover will not pinch it or damage it
in any way.
11. Reinstall the cover on the receiver box and tighten the three 3x8mm
button-head cap screws securely. Inspect the cover to make sure that the
O-ring seal is not visible.
12. Use the supplied zip ties to bundle the wires neatly and attach them to
the vehicle as needed so that loose wires will not become entangled with
moving parts.

to black) (Fig. 10). Plug the harness connector into the Motor
Sensor port on the power module (refer to the Wiring Diagram
for more detail).
2. Use the supplied zip ties to bundle the wires neatly and attach
them to the vehicle as needed so that loose wires will not
become entangled with moving parts.

Headlights Mode Selection
Use the Mode button on the Pro Scale
Lighting Power Module to cycle through
the different lighting modes (from Low
Beam Mode to High Beam Mode to
Daytime Mode).
Hazard Lights
Use the Signal button on the Pro Scale
Lighting Power Module to turn the hazard
lights on or off.
Turn Signals
The turn signals are activated by default. To
deactivate the turn signals, press and release
the Signal button on the Pro Scale Lighting Power Module two times quickly. Both left turn signal LEDs will blink once, and then both right turn signals LEDs
will blink once to indicate that the turn signals are deactivated.
To reactivate the turn signals: Press and release the Signal button two times again quickly. Both left turn signal LEDs will blink twice, and then both right
turn signals LEDs will blink twice to indicate that the turn signals are activated.
Turn Signal Operation:
With the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel on the transmitter (left or right) to turn on the LEDs. The turn signal LEDs will continue to flash while the
steering wheel is turned in this same direction or remains centered. Turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to cancel the turn signal.
