The sounds are made by RAM.

I had the same idea using the merlin for sound effects.
Makes a great engine sound.


Nice work I'm mostly impressed by the brazing, I suck at it.

hum ... not sure ... In my opinion, the sound of "RAM" I feel worse than "Benedini"

Hello,

I can not choose where I put my two lights. Here are my two ideas ... can you give me your opinion and what you prefer

1. My first "classical" solution simply illuminate the front




2. My second idea, illuminate front and behind





Voila! ... I am interested in your opinion, for my final choice

I like them in just the front. But on the side panels instead of the nose as you have in the "classical" version. Just my thoughts. Love the build btw very inspirational

Do you plan on more lights?

I'd say if only doing 2 lights, point them forward, but find a place where they won't get knocked off on the trail.

Steph,

Incredible build, and such attention to detail. Simply Amazing. You have outdone yourself from the first build.
One question for you, your Stainless Steel tube frame, are they solid tube or hollow? Keep up the great work.

P/S keep the lights in front.

Thank you for your comments, I will set them on the front. I need to test if they are sufficiently protected if I fixed on the front side ;)

@ rockzilla
About my Swiss-Tuber I, I almost that of the tube (6x3 mm). On my Swiss-Tuber II, I have a vast majority of rod (6 mm) and less tube (6x4 mm - 6x3 mm for fixing shock). For simplicity I used the rod to have more angular curves and tubes for lines.

Hi again, I'm very interested in reproducing the V-8 sound that you have and have been to http://www.benedini.de/ and cannot understand what I need to buy to achieve this. If you could explain a bit more on the sound system or possibly PM me and maybe point me in the right direction so I can have sound too

Just love this build I keep coming back and see something new every time

Thanks!

Hello,

I bought this link :
http://www.benedini.de/Home_E/Produc...roducts_e.html

the "Soundmodule TBS Mini" + "Programing cable for TBS Micro + Mini + Switch (USB or RS232)" ... We must order these two articles, I bought a small speaker in a store to home.

and I also downloaded (free) program:
http://www.benedini.de/Home_D/Download/download.html

Welcome to the "big super sounds"


Two points that I find super important:

The operation is: 3.5 - 12V (from receiver) perfect for Lipo 2s or 3s ! and there is already an Internal amplifier: 1.2 W at 8 ohms and 5V supply
