I use the 3racing one and while it doesn't strobe it does do turn signals, also does brighter brake lights when actively braking and back up lights when in reverse.

To be honest the HPI kit looks nicer but it's also 4 times the cost.

I own 3 of the 3racing ones so I guess that tells you what I'd buy. I think the biggest advantage the HPI one has over the 3racing one is the light sensor, other than that they look pretty similar.

no offence but why in the world do you want your lights to strobe? The only cars that I know that do that are police cars....

im trying to make a mini-me of my car and strobes are a want not a must but i would like it to look and seem identicle to my "real car" thats all just a project. i have seen the strobes on rc cars before but wasnt sure if i would have to buy a keychain and rip it apart for the strobe switch in it or if i could just buy a kit that saves time and hassle.

I know some company out there makes a strobe controller for RC, it's meant for RC police vehicles. but I can't see how you'd wire it so that you could use both the HPI unit and the strobe unit.
