The Power

so we need to power these leds so take and led and tuch it to the motor and make sure the rc car is turned on adn press back up if the light lights up then good remember what way u put the led but if it did not flip the led over and try again it should work now

How This Works

the reason the led will only turn on when u back up is that the motor switches its possitive and negative side to make it spin the right way you say to on the control

Wire Set Up
