Re: Cheapo diesel sound card

Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well.. 8) Phil.P Erm, yup, t...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card

Very odd, I will try it again I just bought one for 40p (plus P&P), but they should be £7.27 (plus P&P) at the moment. No idea what's going on. If not just do a search for RC Diesel Engine Simulation Sound Module 5-8.4V Input 2W Small Horn Speaker For Remote Control Car Boat Airplane DIY Mo...

Re: IP Engineering Wickham trolley

Thanks for that.. I have had a query about fitting RC, and the customer is talking about swapping the motor, and using a PP3 battery.. I am wondering if a 3-cell AAA holder will fit, in place of the 2-cell? Phil.P You could use 2 x 14500 li-ion batteries, I know it's only 7.2v (8.4v charged) but it...
