How To Install the GT Power Truck Light and Sound | and Demo!

[@kennythemeat]

best light kit for the price. does everything what the tamiya multi function unit does, just with the benefit of using your own esc. great! i hate the calibrating stuff from the tamiya kit. and this works right out of the box. nice video!

[@xKmotx]

Thank you for this video. I had to interpolate between your FlySky and my OrangeRx receiver, but without your video I was hopelessly confused by the included GT Power "users manual" which made no sense at all. Now I have the system working. 👍

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Glad it was helpful.

[@scotthouston7116]

Just ordered this for the grand hauler... thanks for your video. Hope it's as easy as it looks.

[@RCConstructionHobby]

The instructions are ok but this helps visually know where it all plugs in. You can alternatively use the deans connector instead of the balance plug to power it. Goes in the same spot.

[@scotthouston7116]

Well got it all put together....but now it seems my throttle is on the right stick everything is backwards...now what? I'm using a Dx6e 6 channel reciver

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@scotthouston7116 Futaba and FlySky use Channel 3 for Throttle... Spektrum and most others use Channel 1 for Throttle. Just swap 1 and 3. You should be OK! Oh, and on the Spektrum Reciever, the Steering Servo lead should go into the "Ailerons" Channel. I'm pretty sure your Reciever has Channel Names instead of Numbers?

[@ericvanquickelberghe8575]

[@natxoperez9548]

Hello thanks for this great vídeo. I have a question. Where do yo conect the engine motor?

[@RCConstructionHobby]

The motor is connected to an esc. Which is then connected to the sound kit with the servo wire from the esc.

[@natxoperez9548]

Thanks

[@TasosX]

Hello friend .Great video. A question. In my truck crawler the chanel 2, throttle, is 2 pin plug, positive and negative, for the motor wires.The GT POWER speaker is 3 pin can itake only the 2 cables? It will work ?

[@RCConstructionHobby]

the power cables from the motor to the GT power are only 2 wire. The servo wire goes to the receiver which communicates with transmitter. In the video I show how it should connect.

[@TasosX]

@@RCConstructionHobby In my truck CRX18 6WD is a combination esc and receiver so I was thinking of connecting from GT POWER the plug to the three cables, the signal to the positive, the neutral to the negative to the motor of the car and grounding somewhere else in the car. And the other cable to the battery. Will it work this way? or will i do damage? I can't figure out what the ground wire is for. Thanks in advance.

[@RCConstructionHobby]

The rear light turn on when you turn the lights on but the second time you hit the left stick. The third time turns on all lights.

[@johng7622]

GT power does not have rear lights, you have to fit separately

[@paulcollings6783]

How do you get the horn to work

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Left stick to the right

[@anthonygiust3153]

If I have the shift servo assigned to the 3 position switch on my fsi6 an I still use that as the switch for shifting? It seems that when I hook it up thay my left stick is moving the shift servo slightly

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Thst is odd that the stick makes the servo move. I have it set so the switch only changes the gears. You might have to make some slight adjustments with the end points for the servo or the centering.

[@12TWENTYFOUR]

Nice vid . Is this the same unit for 1/14 trucks? Also what radio are you using

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Yes its for the 1/14trucks like tamiya trucks. The radio i was using is a fly sky fs i6x

[@michaelrajca6043]

i am getting ready to assemble a tamiya grand hauler, my 1st semi. i plan to use my radiomaster mt12 surface radio and a 5 channel rx to go with it. im trying to save some money and am watching your videos several times but i am a little confused. if i get the basic kit, can i run a hobbywing fusion crawler motor esc combo? if iget the pro version, does the unit have the esc installed already and will it support a brushless motor. im just trying to navigate and get it to work properly without spending thye ungodly price for the mfc-1 let alone the price of the truck kit. thank you in advance

[@RCConstructionHobby]

The system comes with a built in esc. If you wanted to bypass the built in esc that is something I'm not sure how the configuration would be. In other kits like beier or dasmikro you connect the esc to the sound system then to the reciever. Only way it to check the facebook pages for others who have tried this method out.

Great video wow very nice

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Great video, thank you for posting this. I want to use a FS GT5 (pistol grip) transmitter with a Bruder tractor conversion I'm about to start. Will this sound/light work with the GT5? With the transmitter you had the sticks worked everything. Many thanks.

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Not sure it will work for the lights as you need a way to get the.lights to function and they need two 3 position switches for tgis work if you are using a pistol grip for lights. As for sound it would work. I would also suggest the sg-sz01 m.aliexpress.com/item/32887695283.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail

[@dannyclark9820]

Awesome video thanks for making it. Quick question? The package says 2000ma max power. Dose that mean you can only power it with a 2000mah battery? Or that it only pulls 2000ma to power it’s self? Thanks again for all your informative videos.

[@RCConstructionHobby]

I believe it will do more on tge battery mah as I use a 2200 because it put it in the cab. So a higher mah should be no issue. I think the 2000ma is for esc as to not overload on power.

[@dannyclark9820]

@@RCConstructionHobby I use 4000-5000mah packs in all my trucks. Do you think it’ll be ok?

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Yes it will be fine. It does not matter the capacity. Capacity makes no difference as it has no bearing on power. What is more important is the C rating and cell count. This particular system is rated to a 3 cell count. Anything above will cause problems. So you should be good with 5000mah. The ESC is where you might run into issues as some don't play well with this sound system.

[@tollaslaci2094]

Does the red brake light up better when braking? Not mine, why?

No it does not. If you want realfunctions you need to pay for the more expensive sive versio which is like the mfc1 from tamiya.

when you turn on the lights the red lights will turn on in the rear. if you reverse the reverse lights should come on. if you turn off the lights the red lights turn off. they do not come on when you stop. It does not work like other kits. if you want it to work like the real trucks you will want to look at the gt power truck pro kit which has an esc built in and you can manage the lights and brake lights work when you are stopped with the main lights on or off. hope that helps.

I agree it says should be 7.4v but I do use 11.1v 3s lipo because the motors are rated for that. I have not had any issues with power damaging the module. It has been working perfect for the past 2 years. Use what you feel comfortable with. 7.4v or 11.1v. Just know 7.4v will change the power output to the motors and slow things down and lose some torque.

Sound ????

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Watch till the end for sound. It only has 1 sound which is a semi truck sound.

Thank you!! I've been frustratingly searching for Videos on the various Sound and Lights Systems.... Only coming up with CRAP Videos with poor info, shot from 20 feet away, and mostly in Asian Language with Asian Language Comments. Might have been OK with some Visual and Audio clues and references.... But there WEREN'T any. 😖😞😠 Sorry! Off the Soapbox.... I would like to hear more of the Sounds.... And the Engine at a little higher volume. Nearly ALL of the cheap Kits have Engine files that when you rev up - it sounds like an 80's Video Game. 😖👎👎 With very generic Diesel Sound. Now, I've been in the Hobby for more than a few Decades... I KNOW not to expect Scale accurate Sounds for under 50 bucks. But it doesn't have to sound like ass either!! I'll probably hook it up very similar to yours, because I've also got a FlySky FSi6 Radio. I've got a bunch of extra LEDs though... It's a Grand Hauler, and I'm definitely going all out! I've got 8 LEDs just in the Dashboard, with several more going to the Interior Lights and CB Radio. Plus extra Running Lights... I may end up running those off of separate Channels - with BECs. And I'll be running a Hobbywing WP1080 ESC, because I'll need a LOT of Drag Brake!! Well..... After writing WAY too much, I do want to know, since you've had yours for quite a while. Is it any good? I mean, was it even worth what you paid for it? I COULD spend the $300+ on a Beier or MFC... Likely Beier, because Tamiya MFC only comes with ONE Sound Set, is NOT Lipo Compatible, and I'm told that my 20kg Steering Servo will make the MFC BROWN OUT!! Not for that kind of Money! But there seems to be a lot of reviews on this GT Power, and the ESS-One (but that one is strictly a non Commercial Vehicle System). So I'm hoping it's somewhat worthwhile. LESU makes one too, the 3T. It has 3 different Diesel Engine Sounds loaded. However, almost nobody in the First or Second World has reviewed it! I don't know what to think. And it's $140... I'll end here. 😖 If you made it this far, thank you!

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Glad it helped. It's why I made it. I was frustrated too.

So I can’t ask my hobby store to order it for me

[@RCConstructionHobby]

You can try and ask them. They might order it for you.

Good night! Where should I connect ESC? Some say DIRECT CHANNEL, others say ESC CHANNEL has gone wrong!

[@RCConstructionHobby]

Esc should connect to the drive channel. If you watch the video I show exactly where it connects.
