TrueFire LED Afterburner

Regular price $42.99

Universal mount works best on 36mm and larger diameter inrunner motors. Will not work on outrunner motors. Not recommended for 30mm and smaller diameter inrunner motors. 

Options

Select-A-Fire TrueFire - Random flickering from 30% to 50% throttle to simulate the afterburner lighting/turning on. From 50% throttle to 100% throttle the afterburner gets brighter with full brightness at 100% throttle. Select-A-Fire adds the ability to adjust the throttle position where the main Orange LED turns on. The ability to turn on and off the flickering effect is also provided.

No additional radio (TX) programming is required to achieve the realistic afterburner effect. This is a plug and play system. 

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.

Unbelievable

The installation was not hard. It just took a little time to run the wires. I placed it on an A-10. I know the A 10 does not have after burners, but I wanted it on mine and it is unbelievable. It can be seen during the day, but at twilight Looks like a real jet.
