My son recently got 2 strip lights for his Traxxas 4 tec 2.0 (T-Bone Racing Rocklight Underglow LED Strips). Our plan was to run them off the third channel of the receiver, so I soldered the two strips together and soldered a receiver plug on to them. When I connect the receiver plug to a female plug connected to an alkaline 9v, the strips light up, but when I connect the plug to the 3rd channel on the receiver, nothing happens. I thought the third channel on the receiver was supposed to be always on.
What am I doing wrong?
