[VIDEO] Tamiya 1/14 Scania R620 Semi Truck - Budget Sound Module and Light Unit

Tamiya 1/14 Scania R620 Semi Truck - Budget Sound Module and Light Unit

Restored the R620 few months back, added some LEDs and installed the Alan Bond's Diesel sound module.
Not fantastic at all compared to Tamiya's Multi Function Unit and the China's SLU...
But good enough for something that sits on the shelf most of the time.

Details:
Sound Unit - Alan Bond's Diesel Engine Sound Module (available at Technobots Online)
Remote Light Switch - Multi Remote Controlled Switch (7channel) (Available from HobbyKing)

Cool, now all you need is a trailer and your truck will be complete.

Great! Looks like it is working very well. The sound is not terrible at all.

So what exactly do those units do better? What would you like to see improved? <just asking to gather learning for my DIY sound unit...>

What I have in mind is to get a mp3 or wav shield and read data off sdcard...
that would make the audio more realistic... Musical horns are definitely a must in the sdcard...

All these would mean more midnight oil....
U triggerred the other hobby in me... But I would foresee that your PIC version would be coming very quickly... definitely much earlier than my avr one if I really embark in it...
