PRODUCT REVIEW: GT Power Engine Sound Unit

In this video we review and show you the new engine sound simulator made by GT Power. Its a decent sounding system for the price point its at. As long as you use a deans battery connector it comes with everything to power it up. Overall its not a bad unit for $39. Look for these to be a stocked item at Dixieland R/C.

That's extremely nice for the price.

Good vedio

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Sounds great for 40 bucks bro!

[@DixielandRC]

Kevin Gibbs yeah. It will for sure do the job at $40.

I purchased this several months ago as a Christmas gift. Installed it in my daughters rock crawler and the sound Revs in reverse, and is idle in forward. The truck is a RGT EX86110 rock crawler. I was thinking of making a custom ESC/Receiver splitter wherein I reverse the polarity (+ and - wires) to the GT Power module. Thoughts? Thank you for the video !

[@skagerstrom]

It's the signal that is in reverse. Plus and minus has nothing to do with what direction stuff connected to the reciver operate. Worst case scenario you'll kill it. You are probably running the throttle backwards or something. Reverse CH2 on the radio, and the motor wires, and it should be good. A bit late now perhaps.. xD

[@Nerfblaster234]

I noticed the sound you focused on in the video is an exact same sound the ess systems have so I'm assuming they share the same sound files the only difference is quality like I know the ess systems are waterproof but, idk if the gt power is I haven't done any research on it yet but it still looks like a great deal for 40 bucks.

[@DixielandRC]

Nerfblaster234 yep. Im sure its the same setup just in a different case.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Not bad for the price! Through Headphones anyway it sounds fairy deep. Either way, to give your Rig some growl on a budget, this looks like the ticket! 👍👍 Carmine 🚂🚙

[@DixielandRC]

Yep. Its pretty good for half the price of the others

So far - #58 or #7 sound great for my new SCX6 Honcho. I can’t wait when it arrives. I’ll definitely place my hand over the speaker for that beep. I’ve decided to use a LiFe rx battery to power it. I’ll just put a switch harness on it to turn on and off. I already do that with the headlights and auxiliary lights. The rest of the lights (bumper and tail) are on a separate circuit and stay on. I trail and crawl 99.999% of the time in the daytime. Big block or small block V8 sound? Right now - big block since it’s a quick trail truck in high range. And idling on the rocks would sound cool. I now (at 64 and retired and luckily medically stoned in a stoner state) realize THIS the large scale IS the ultimate in surface RC when it comes to bashing. For me - 1/10th scale represent build projects. And I love build projects. The next one - Team Associated DR10M modified drag racer. Already have a DR10 rear motor stock class racer. This hobby is so cool…

[@400AGLNET]

Nice sound from this unit, Hard to tell over a video but does it sound reasonably realistic? You mention that you'll carry in the shop? I think you said $40.00? Tapping the throttle turned it on, does it turn off tapping reverse?

[@DixielandRC]

They sound very good. I do keep them in stock. Link is in the description. It turns off after idle for about 10 seconds.

[@400AGLNET]

@@DixielandRC Awesome, Thanks for the rapid reply. I'll be looking more into these. I'm scratch building a scale 40" Chris Craft and the engine sound would be an amazing add. Trouble is I'll be needing two since the boat will be twin screw.

[@400AGLNET]

@@DixielandRC Do you think something like the BoomRacing Winch would work as an anchor winch for boat build I'm working on?

[@DixielandRC]

Yes. That should work

[@TasosX]

Hello friend Great video. A question. In my truck CRX18 6WD is a combination esc and receiver , i dont want to change the electronics, so I was thinking of connecting the 3 wire plug of GT POWER speaker like tis way the signal to the positive, the neutral to the negative for the motor wires of the car and the ground just to grounding somewhere else in the car. Will it work this way? or will i do damage? I can't figure out what the black ground wire is for can you tell me? Thanks in advance.

[@langston_8523]

i have a traxxas udr and it has a lipo battry hook up could you tell me how to hook this up pls

[@ConditionZero76]

can this not run directly connected to the esc? does it have to be spliced into the battery? Thanks

[@DixielandRC]

It comes with a deans jumper

[@a2rc]

Oh boy. Where is the face palm emoji........ oh yeah here it is 🤦‍♂. Your vid and review is great (no worries there). The 🤦‍♂is for the product. lol

[@DixielandRC]

Lol. Folks love them.

[@rchokelal]

Not too bad.

[@tejaswinitatte99]

How many types of sounds does this simulator have? I need sounds for truck and construction machine such as wheel loader, excavator. Does this simulater consist such sounds? Please reply...

[@DixielandRC]

I went through almost all of them. I think there is like 99 sounds.

[@VirusOfCyrus]

Edited as this comment was just rude & didnt deserve to exist! Sincere Apologies to a very nice uploader. I only wanted to point out that nobody should plug things in like that with the power turned on as with the Transmitter its possibly the main reason for injuries like tire burn that I know from different situations can be painful! Just didnt want bad or dangerous instructions etc being passe don/tough to other that may not know the dangers. Thanks for the video tho!

[@DixielandRC]

Well I dont have a power switch on my esc. I kinda did plug all that up a little backwards didnt I.

[@VirusOfCyrus]

@@DixielandRC My sincere appologies! You should have deleted my rude comment instead of being so kind & chill towards me! Ive edited it for you :)

hello it's written on the box 2A max so if I have a 5A battery like you in the video, do I risk burning it?

[@DixielandRC]

I honestly dont know. Now I have sold many of these and have heard nothing about it being a problem as im sure everyone uses different kind of Lipos.

[@willytavarez9979]

​@@DixielandRC my gt has sound #56 but i feel like it is in high gear because it sounds like it is revving?

[@stevenmolina6097]

I got one but I need to hook it up to a bigger batteries cause it only has a small battery connected.how do I hook up to big battery?

[@DixielandRC]

It comes with a connector to put in between the battery you normally use

[@saikatmauser]

Hi, can this unit be installed to a wpl or jjrc trucks?

[@DixielandRC]

Yes. Should work as long as there is a receiver so it knows when you press the throttle.

[@jtugfestiva]

Does this device have the annoying brake squeal when going into reverse, I know the ess can be programmed not to have it.

[@DixielandRC]

I dont think so

[@zerovandez]

Does it shift gears or does it sound like its always stuck in gear?

[@DixielandRC]

Constant sound

[@rcintro1489]

Wow great price. Are you selling these?

[@LiquidSSSnake]

How long will it "idle" without input from the controller? The ess seems to stop after 5 seconds.

[@DixielandRC]

This one is around the same.

[@jemlesvideo]

You can basically edit all that stuff with the software by pluging the thing on a computer with the mini usb port. You can choose up to 20 second idle, gear changing speed ( or deactivate the feature ), you can choose brake sound effect or not, turbo sound, rpm limiter sound or not ect... It's a killer kit very complete for the price

[@zhopich]

@@jemlesvideo Hi about what software you talk?

[@jemlesvideo]

@@zhopich The software that you need to download at the product website.

[@rickdowe7865]

Would this be a good fit for my Stampede and Rustler?

[@DixielandRC]

Maybe. Would be hard to fit on it im sure. Dont see why it wouldnt work if thats what you want.

[@wesratliff9747]

Hey man, been looking at these for my crawler lately. I have found one I liked, got good reviews - but not this one. I may have to look into the one you have. Btw how did you get power in; did you use the ESC input? Just curious. Also, the hum on the power input: you can try soldering on a capacitor to see if that helps - 25V 220uF or larger. That should take care of any noise and help filter it out - solder close to the device instead of the power source. Or - try a separate battery to power it instead of the source used. Those ferrite beads are okay sometimes, I see you've only got one - the way they filter the best is to have one at the source and one at the device. But, the cap should be a much simpler solution! I'm making several cap packs for my bigger RC's, makes a big difference in performance. Going to start making and selling on eBay as well - 2, 4, and 6 cap packs for cheap! I'm using low ESR 25V 3300uF caps for them as well. 6600uF - 13,200uF - 19,800uF - I'll need to test but possibly 6s LiPo support. I'll post a link when I get supplies and packs made!

[@DixielandRC]

Its just powered by hooking it up to the battery. Has a deans pass through.

[@user-nu6ki4uv6x]

Is the sound size adjustable for this product?

[@DixielandRC]

There is a volume button on it. Thats about it.

[@StevePiperActor]

Would that work on a Power Wheels car?

[@DixielandRC]

Im honestly not quite sure.

[@alangriff1]

Can you increase the revs from an idle?

[@DixielandRC]

No.

[@ner27536]

Hey man so I just plug battery to the module but what about the motor I need 2 battery ?

[@DixielandRC]

It has a jumper plug that powers the unit

[@ner27536]

Yeah I already ... but thy.

i plugged it in like you did. when i hit reverse it revs up and nothing when i give it gas. will updated solve this or is there a factory reset help please

[@prkhr.kmr.27]

Which RC do you have. It might be dependent on your wiring. Anyway, were you able to resolve the issue?

[@DixielandRC]

I havent heard anything from you in a while or seen a package. Did you get this working?

I have a Slash with OBA, and after about a month or so the ESC went out. They are very expensive, for what they are. PLUS The OBA won't work with any other receiver. Well, that's what Traxxas told me.
