Where can I get those little red lights for the IR system on the T-55? They look awesome

The lights are minurature red LED's (with a 330 Ohm resistor in series).

Use the 3mm type in order to fit.

A white LED was used for the driving headlamp.

Hey Eric,
I went to a local hobby shop that specializes in model Railroad. They had tiny speakers that are for the locomotives and digital sound systems. I got 4 oval 8 ohm speakers. I have connected them in parallel and given them a test "sounding" and the results were very excellent. They are small and very narrow so as to fit over the gear boxes.

Hey Eric,
I think you should be aware of this I found a little while ago.

They have also done it on the boating forum here at RCU.

Hello
Its probably 2 ohm of total impedance in such parallel connection - I dont know what electronics is used , but usual 4 ohm (Tamiya) or 8 ohm (Elmod, Benedini) impedance speakers is required. You can burn Your amplifier. One bigger speaker with chamber gives better effect. In addition the speaker power should be fitted to amplifier output power (lower distorsions).
