DIY Sound and Lights for RC

I recently found this amazing sound and light controller that is a fraction of the cost of pre made ones and works as good or better. In this video I give a brief overview of some of the main features, though there is so much more that can be said. There are many custom sounds, light functions and vehicle inertia simulation. It has been incredibly fun to install and use in my truck and I am sure I will be adding the system to any future vehicles also.

I did not create this, I am just a very happy user of it. If you would like more info on how to assemble the system please leave a comment and I will try to make more videos going over more specifics.

Thank you so much for showcasing my system. Just one small remark: The sound (especially the bass) will be way better, if the speaker is mounted inside a housing, which should be as large as possible. I usually 3D print them as you can see in my videos.

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you! I’m going to print some housings soon! I should be able to fit them on my TRX and the kenworth sleeper, not enough room in my daycab unfortunately. Your work is amazing, thanks so much for sharing it.

[@YetAnotherRcChannel]

That system is so awesome. I use it in all my vehicles too💪

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Sweet! Yes, it is great.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

PLEASE! I've been struggling trying to find out how to set up S-BUS in the FS-i6X... I can't get hold of anyone who doesn't use it in a Drone. It's been NO HELP in setting up my Beier USM-RC-3 to run on S-Bus, on my FS-i6X. Could you please tell this Old Fart how?? 😊

[@BuildItBetter3D]

If I remember correctly it’s just a matter of enabling it in the transmitter and then plugging into the sbus port on the receiver. I’d be happy to help if I can. I don’t have the Beier but it shouldn’t be too different. Contact me on my discord channel and it’ll be easier to chat. discord.gg/kdeJXGGs

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Thanks. Most information I've got so far! I AM really Tech STUPID!! 🙄😜 Don't even know what a discord IS. If it's a pay thing, I'm afraid I can't. We're having a rough 2 months...

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Discord is an app you can put on your phone, tablet, or computer. It is free, you just need to create an account. It is an easy way to message and share pictures with people. If you click on the link in my previous reply it should take you to where you can get started setting up an account. You don't need to do it, but if you do I can help in a much faster way. Through there I could provide pictures and instructions to better help you get setup. Here's hopefully something to get you started with your FS-i6X hold OK to go to menu Scroll down to RX Setup - then select Output Mode Set output to PPM and Serial to i-Bus Then Hold "Cancel" to save - I know that seems odd, but it's how they work. That Should have you working with the serial port on your receiver.

I've used "TheDIYGuy999"'s ESP32 sound/motion modules in my 1/10th scale tanks and Truck, they are great units!

[@orange_tweleve]

I still cant seem to get this to work lol , i changed the signal input on the code to basic pwm , im just not using the pcb but just plugging the esp32 onto a breadboard. Maybe my amp is bad idk. Theres two output signal pins right ?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

I’m not sure. I built mine following the diyguys video and the instructions included. I don’t fully know how it all works, so I can’t be much help with troubleshooting.

[@lukes7641]

Could you make a build video on all the parts needed to make the sound kit and how to assemble it? I think one with two stroke sounds would be awesome in the skeeride sled

[@BuildItBetter3D]

I’ve had that same thought! There is a video on thediyguy999 KZbin showing assembling the main board. I’ll try to put together a video covering all of the parts needed when I get the time though. It is a great system.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Perfect! Thanks.

How can I get the body I use to own a 1999 brand new 75th anniversary edition

[@BuildItBetter3D]

You can buy the files and 3D print the body. Files are here: www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-1-14-scale-keny-with-chassis-bundle-192729

Hi, any chance of seeing any other trucks be designed?? Would love to see an early 2006 freightliner argosy or a few Volvo FHs??

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Yes! That is the plan. I designed the chassis to be modular so that it would be easy to build with different cabs. I have many cabs I would like to design for it. Winter keeps me pretty busy with the SkeeRide stuff but once that calms down I will get back to trucks and trailers.

[@kingstonjunctionmodelrailway]

@@BuildItBetter3D Great! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Especially the trailers would be interesting if you could incorporate the modular design? 🤔

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks. Yes, modular for the trailers too. I’ve got a frame working right now that is modular. Currently it’s easy to make it 28,45, or 53ft. It’s a flat deck at the moment but I want to make the top interchangeable also, at least for the different trailer types that use the same frame type.

[@frikkiebester8895]

Very cool video! I have the same system in both my Scania and Kenworth and it works brilliantly! Fitted the compact version to a RC4WD excavator the weekend! Works just as awesome! Still want to fit one to my TRX4…. It is just a brilliant versatile system!

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks. I completely agree, the system is fantastic. Hopefully more people will find it and get to appreciate the great work that’s gone into it.

[@frikkiebester8895]

@@BuildItBetter3D I need to work on my video making skills! But one video I made of my Scania in the back yard got shared so quickly on out local Whatsapp groups…all wanting to know what sound card I have in there!

Great vid man

Thank you!
