Looking for horn sound (as in beep, beep, get out of the way)

[Kingmeow]

Any such thing out in the market? I just want the horn sound, no engine noise, etc. so that rules out ESS, GT Power and the likes.

I do realize that the frequency will be kind of high due to the physics of the size of the speaker/transducer. It will be operated on an extra channel.

If anybody can come with one, It's HeyOk Performance
HeyOK's RC Electronics items (all in one place)

Yup, I make one. It's kind of lame for a horn sound as it is just a piezo buzzer. Beeeeeep. It's pretty inexpensive though. Sent me a PM if I can help.

Thanks,
Al

You have a video?

I seem to be missing my notifications - I used to get an email when someone replied to a thread. Hmmm...

Sorry, no video. I will try and get one built in the next day or so and make a video.

I’m gonna keep my eye on this thread. Was just telling my crawler buddy on Sunday that a horn that can be activated from an auxiliary channel would be so cool, especially with selectable horn sounds (old car horn, semi horn, etc). Of course a single sound would be cool as well.

I want to use it to entertain the kiddies as I do my exercise by light trailing about the park/lake/reservation/etc. Who knows, they might take up rock crawling!

Got my boys (6 and 9 now) TRX4 Sports 2 years ago. Took them to several parks & hiking trails and it’s really been fun. They also go to the local track/crawler course with me now and then and it’s amazing how good they can drive them! Good times!

Can you change the frequency of a pizzo hore, cause is should have dixie at the very least, ;P you could do this with an arduino nano, but even a nano is kinda big for an rc car.

Here it is. Very quick and dirty, but you will get the idea.

Only makes the one sound. Yup, it's kind of lame. If you guys really want me to, I will look into something that can play a tune.

If I can make you something, please send me a PM or even better, send an email because RC Crawler has stopped sending me notifications for some reason.
My email address is mostlyal@gmail.com

Cheers,

If your going for realistic...might as well get a motor noise also. The added benefit is that you can download up to two motor noises at a time. Yes you can have the Dixie horn download as well. That is the yellow wire. You will need an extra channel to do this. If TRX-4...lock in one hub and disconnect servo....and get an extra channel that way.

My location squeezed in all my TRX trucks....under the hood...furthest forward...very loud if needed but I turn mine down to 2.

For a scaler that is doing easier lines this looks pretty nice. Kinda big though. I was never aware it had a horn.
