Which one should I use?

[Billy832]

OK I got RockNmayhem's globe liner bought! Can't wait to see it! However, I already have my own plans ...looking at the paint job he did, if it looks as good in person, not touching it. The truck has no sound or lights, so we gotta fix that. I was planning on using my futaba 4 channel if I can. I know I can't if I go with an mfu, but I've been seeing a few videos of servonaut units and I like the sound. I know they are German, where I. The USA can I get them? Can I use a 4 channel or do I need more channels? Thanks fellas....

you can save a few $$$ and use this

you need a y splitter for the throttle so the sound matches the movement of the truck

[Billy832]

Thanks! Probably going to go with this one....I can use my own speedo it looks like? Do I need mechanical trims? Or will digital trims work?

[RCP57]

I have the same unit in my Hayes and it works great. I bought the one without speakers because I had my own smaller ones. I have it hooked to a DX6i and it works just fine.

Thanks fellas! Just went on the website and ordered both the sound and light kits. Now gotta choose a radio........is 4 channels going to be enough?

[bigford]

get 6 if you got the money.dx6i isn't to much money now

[Gator]

Bigford, thanks for the suggestion, ordered and awaiting delivery. Would love your input because of your installation experience.

i have a futaba 4 channel i think it was a mistake now i would get at least a 10 to 14 ch that has mutiple different model memories for my next radio that way all i need for any other modelles is a receiver and any servos the are needed

[bigford]

mine is sitting in the grand hauler up on the mfu tray and fits perfect.
i made a mistake in saying that you need a y-lead you
dont the esc plugs into the sound board. supermario pointed
that out to me on f/b.

as far as radios get as many channels as you can afford
i bought a dx6 and love it now they have the dx6i with sd card
i also have the dx9 that i got for the excavator and bound all
the trucks to that

[Billy832]

Thanks....got my sound and lights but I'm waiting to get a radio until I get the truck. Definitely going for at least 6 channels now...

[KAF1]

And where do you guys order your dx6 and dx9 radios from? And I'd rcbrmin in the UNITED STATES ?
Thanks Ken.

Rcbrmin is not in the u.s., but I had no trouble ordering and received the sound and lights before my truck came. Haven't ordered the radio yet though. I actually was going to ask the forum if I can use digital trims or if I need mechanical.

[Kausekaos]

They are sold out, I need 2 of them. Do they restock often?

[Billy832]

Not sure, sorry, this was the first thing I ever ordered from them. I can tell you it came promptly and was well wrapped but I haven't been able to try it yet.

[thebat]

wish these were not out of stock on there i want one for my king hauler that is getting a total overhaul anywhere else to get this sound unit at thanks.

[bigford]

this is the only place I've seen this model sound unit. reason i got it was
it sounds like it has a turbo whistle to it

[Prodrvr2006]

Here's one that I'm going to try because the price is right and looks good. He's got a youtube vid to check out as you scroll down. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201411995237?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

[bigford]

Slamming the brakes is the only way to get the skidding sound.

Here is another site you can get the exact same unit as sold by RCbmin. It's a little more cash but I also see they've updated the speaker and now offer with a smaller speaker box.

i wonder witch one sounds better the duel speaker on the single

[Prodrvr2006]

Two is always better than one...be it speakers, cars, homes, chicks!

Thanks for your help, I seen a few items that I would like but, was hesitant to order. I'll give them a try.
Thanks again, Ken.

[thebat]

awesome thank you Super Mario for that link i think my soon to be peterbilt king hauler will sound rather nice with that unit.

[Billy832]

Can I use a digital trim radio with this system? Or do I need mechanical trims like the mfu?

[RCP57]

Digital is fine.

Type of radio has no effect with this unit. You simply plug in series into your motor esc. The only thing it will require is a spare channel to honk the horn and start/stop the engine. I'm currently using a 6ch radio and use the rotary dial. Turn left and back to centre starts and stops engine. Turn right honks horn until you return to centre. You can also use one of the joystick channels. It all comes down to personal preference and how you like things set.

[bigford]

mine is on a 3-way switch up starts down honks back up kills it

Ive just got some seeds Ive ordered off eBay and I need to know, when making the salt water solution do I need to use Epsom salt or sea salt? thanks for any help in advance.

What does this have to do with Sound Tech, or RC?
