Roll over them! That's what monster trucks are for anyways, they will think twice about crossing your path again. Just kidding!
Be nice to fellow rc-ers!

do you think that if you put a horn on your truck that when you use it all the other trucks are going to move out of your way. ? not bashing you or your opinion. just don't see a good use for a horn an a rc truck.

Oh ya man, throw a horn on there and they always get outta the way. It also helps if you have turn signals, and hazard lights. That way the race track stays really organized. Always use your hazards when something is wrong, and watch out for the LOW fuel LIGHT!!!! LMAO

remember you will need another channel on your radio if you want to control something like a horn. Of course if you have a three channel radio with no reverse you could use that channel to control the horn.

Dude man this mod was sick! A little dremeling to the top of my custom Losi body and I bolted the horn right on dude! I used a dual tone Bugle Horn made by BELL I picked up at my LWS (local Wal-Mart store). The handle bar attachment, for BMX bikes, was perfect for some radical spacing between the horn and body. It also allowed some sick clearance so the heat of Nitro engines will not affect the squeeze bag of the horn! After some testing, no dude, I mean bashing, the horn performed over the top! It handled any thing I could throw at it! Dude, just remember, DO NOT place horn close to ear. High noise level may cause hearing impairment. This thing is *****in!!!!!! It only makes me want to say one thing……


BEEP BEEP DUDE

I like the horn idea not for making people move out of your way but for fun. It would be alot funnier if you used exhaust gases to power it

hmm that might work there. I wonder if it would beep beep all the time. Anyone willing to try this on an old engine and take a video feel free and please post.
