Them look great!

That's why I put the link to thingiverse...

I have a topic looking at the Beier Sound module setup Click on the link to learn more about my setup.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I spent the day soldering the individual lights to the rainbow cable. Four lights to go, all on the front of the truck. The front turn signals and the marker lights in front of the doors. I may turn the markers into turn signal repeaters.

Federal Refund came today so I ordered a UFR-1230 speed controller form Beier. Cant My setup will change from Digital Mixed to Digital and I will have motor and shifting sounds! Can't wait to get the Axial esc out of it!

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I got my Beier UFR-1230 ESC, today. Tractor works fine remotely, but the lights and sounds do not work any more. I desperately need help!

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I have a 8 ch rx in my rig. C1 is steering Ch3 is throttle Ch2 and Ch4 are for auxiliary things such as lights and sound functions. I have the gear select servo on CH5 as it has 3 positions that match the positions of the switch on the tx. If I were to convert all light and sound function to switches the Beier unit only recognises on off switches or two position switches unlike the three position switches on my taranis. So because of this all Sound effects and lighting functions have to be on Ch2 and CH4

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

Do u have speed control connected to the usm 2 so they can interact

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

Currently the ESC is attached to ch1, ch3, and ch2. The cable from the output1 of the ESC is going to Ch1 input on the sound module. The shifter servo is plugged into Ch5. Ch6 is plugged into the Ch3 port on the Sound Module and Ch7 is plugged into Ch4 port of the sound module.

U have to enable digital mode with esc in sound teacher and drive teacher for esc then it will work together

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

On the General tab of Sound manager I have the mode Digital with UFR ESC selected.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

So u have it enabled in sound teacher and drive teacher software for esc

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

yes both are enabled

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I unplugged all the connections between the RX and the Sound module. I now have the ability to turn on the lights and off the lights I have some sounds working. Soldering has become quite difficult after my stroke on February 5th but I can re-learn how to do it.

I bought some fenders from a friend who wasn't using them on his Grand Hauler.

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I know it has been a while but after reading the instruction manual for both the Beier ESC and Sound module I have made even more changes I finally have some control over sound and lights. One of my changes involved moving the final three light positions around and thus a re-wiring of those three lights.

I have started seeing 1:1 Cascadias with cow catchers and other mods. I guess it is because they have been sold out of fleet service and independent owner operators are purchasing them. So I guess the fenders aren't as unrealistic as I had first thought.

was just reading along . I think he meant he is saving up for ?? and not asking if he will be saving money . Truck is looking good . Wanna wire mine ?

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build
 

I just got my Wiring mess figured out now to tuck everything inside so I can put the body done and work on mounting the fenders!
