Dual - one single motor mount with two LEDs - used for single motor dual exhaust port planes - F18, Rafale, etc

Select-A-Fire BlueFire - Random blue led ring flickering from 30% throttle to 50% throttle. Center afterburner led is not on during this portion. From 50% throttle to 100% throttle the center afterburner led gets brighter with full brightness at 100% throttle. The blue led ring is on at a lower intensity during this portion. Select-A-Fire adds the ability to adjust the throttle position where the Blue LED starts to flicker. The ability to turn on and off the flickering effect is also provided.
Includes a 3D printed motor mount, 20" extension wiring from controller to LED, connection to a 6S battery balance port and receiver. We can offer a 4S version if desired. Just let us know.
An integrated Y cable is provided with the controller to split the throttle signal from the receiver (RX) and provide it to the afterburner controller and the ESC.
The controller itself weighs 18g.
The dimension listed is for the outside diameter of the motor. The unit can be attached to the motor using a zip tie, Gorilla tape or FoamTac glue. See photos for more information.
Installation instructions:
1) Remove the motor per the manual instructions.
2) Attach the afterburner LED unit to the rear of the motor using FoamTac Glue. Tighten zip tie and add Gorilla tape if desired. Trim the zip tie end that is longer than needed.
3) Route the LED wire to the battery compartment.
4) Connect the LED wire to the TrueFire LED controller.
5) Connect the ESC lead to the Y splitter. One end goes to the receiver throttle port and one to the TrueFire LED controller Throttle connection.
6) Connect the TrueFire LED controller Battery connector to the balance lead of the battery.
7) Power on the plane and the transmitter. Make sure your plane is secure prior to adding throttle input. Give it throttle and enjoy the TrueFire! It gets really good around 30% throttle input.

The 5280 burners are the most realistic and best looking afterburner on the market! One day i met a friend who recommended them, thats the reason i bought my trufire blue burner from them.
Although ive since not used this burner much because the led controller that comes in the kit seems to burn itself out quite regularly, 2 times for me in only 6 or 8 flights. 5280 was kind and shipped me 1 new led controller, which worked great again but only for 2 or 3 flights. Ive since not bothered them for another replacement but i will warn you that this thing is very sensitive and will just stop at anytime. I am still searching for an alternative burner that looks as beautiful.
Works perfectly, easy installation
This true fire blue afterburner is the exact touch my plane needed. I've seen the videos but none of them do it any justice for how good and looks and resoponds when installed. I was hesitant at first but I couldn't have asked for a better experience with this product or Larry. He ensured that I had the right product for my application and went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence! Get the product you're looking at from 5280RC. You won't regret it. I sure dont!
I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the BlueFire Afterburner from 5280 R/C. It is well designed, easy to install and configure, but most of all I think it is the most realistic looking simulated afterburner available. Customer support is amazing with 5280 with prompt replies to questions via Facebook Messenger. Check out my photos and videos of my 5280 products here;
