Lights for Matrix II Trucks

Hey kids.
Looking for lights to put on my MBS build.

Anyone got suggestions for lights I can clamp to the front trucks?

Should I just stick one to the top of the deck?

Yeah niteriders. I only buy quality stuff so it’s a bit expensive but these are the best lights and work beautifully on mbs trucks.

So you just put them as close to the wheels as you can? The deck doesn’t hit them?

I’m not sure of your deck, it looks chunk. But I used them on a prototipo with no problems. The best part is it’s Amazon. If they don’t work just return them immediately :slight_smile: no loss

Yeah. Love Amazon. I had gotten some similar ones and they stuck up a bit too much… On hard turns the deck would hit. So I’m hoping to find some that almost sit right on the trucks without the extra height…

Ah for sure, your deck is huge. I would go with a light mounted on a x brace on the front truck bolts

I haven’t gotten a chance to fully install this, but I’m going to use @dani’s pyramid mount for some Shredlights and an LED floodlight. Plan is to wire the LED’s with a switch and a plug to a buck converter. If like to be able to easily remove the floodlight in case I want to upgrade it or move it to another board, and have the Shredlights as a low light “to be seen” option if I want to just run those and use a helmet light instead of the floodlight. Even though it’s not as clean looking, I think the lights work better the higher up they are mounted.

I mounted these on my matrix trucks. They can run directly of of a 12s pack. I used the m8 brake holes to mount them. The way I did it, you need two extra m8 nuts to tighten the light onto the truck.

To mount them, I first tightened a nut against the mount, and then threaded a second nut on until it just barely got the first nut. Then I threaded the mount into the m8 brake holes, and once it was almost as far as it could go, and oriented correctly, I tightened the second nut down against the truck.

You could always trim the nose of the deck a little :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:

I wanna see some pics of this. I’ve had it in my cart and like the singular look but generally prefer rechargeable lights.

I have ones from @genex that mount on top of the trucks and are great but the deck got in the way and I was in a hurry so…

Hi, do you have a link to the led lamp you put on your beast? I’m also searching for a 12s led lamp to plug directly on my lipos…
