I believe the incandescent bulbs impact the performance of the cars as well

@@StockpileHobbies I wondered if they would. I was also wondering if the LED lights stayed any cooler to prevent melting of the body when used for a prolonged period of time? Dan at Slot Valley Racing almost melted through one of his new AW Flamethrowers. Not sure what bulb its but that's what got me thinking about it.

@@scottshouseofh.o.racing Yea, I commented on that video. I just tested my 3 flame throwers and all 3 bulbs are blown out... complete junk. They are incandescent bulbs that get hot and burn out. The LEDs shouldn't get hot. Next video is testing all of this, and throwing my AW chassis in the trash 😉

You can do fiber optics to run some of that light to your taillights.

Wonder why Auto World uses incandescent bulbs? The LED bulbs would be more efficient and likely cost less.

They are cheaper, so it keeps the cost down, and everything about the AW chassis is cheap in my opinion.
Awesome video, how many volts can these bulbs handle

Hi. I recently got back into the hobby and found this video which will help me greatly because I have many tyco cars 440x2 and hp7 that need lights replaced as well as some afx. I know their basically all the same but would it be possible for you to do a video on adding a light to an hp-7 chassis? Again thankyou for this video.
