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.

does the HPI version do the strobe thing im looking for an all in one you know. does the 3-racing one work well? any ups and downs? how does the 3-racing one compare to the HPI unit?

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

but if you were to buy a kit would it be the hpi one im not worried about the price 90 isnt that bad for what i already have into this car lol.

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.

so the HPI doesnt do the strobe thing either?

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.

i am wanting a second set of lights for the strobe part but i think i might have an idea though im going with the 3-racing unit because its cheap and i figured ill have to do a little custom work to. thanks for the help though.
