Today i had something to repair for a friends child. He owns a radio controlled hummermodel.
Unbelieveable how many functions it has.
Turners, brake light, motorsound, headlights, opening doors....and a docking station for MP3! Eek
Opening the right door, inserting a adaptercable and plug in the player.
But the sound is horrible! Red Face
The little speakers are quaking and rumbling.
But the children like it.
And an music-hummer is better than a fueleating real one! Big Grin

A working speaker in a remote control car? That's awesome! Smile

Sounds like it is very realistic compared to what kids drive around here.


(Hmmmmm thinking about modifications to this to improve the sound......)

I think you mean the cheap chinese toycars.
They make terrible noise endless... Tap Toes
I hate them when going over the fleamarket.

Yes, this one is better.
But every antique mono will do it better! Big Grin

Now it would be real fun to see if you could upgrade the soundsystem in that car.
some of those iPod or mobile phone speakers might fit & some don't sound as bad as you'd think! Maybe you could run it off the cars own power supply too...

If it was mine, i would surely try something like that! Big Grin
But so not, sorry. Wink

I had great luck too!
I got from him an old nonworking RC-car for parting out for the hummer. He said, throw the rest then away.
But i donĀ“t need any part of it! Roll Eyes
And this one is oldscoollike, remembering my first own one.
So i will try to repair it. Razz
