I'm debating on adding the ess dual sound box to the tractor. it has a printed bracket specifically FOR the ess dual. its designed with the intention of using the sound box.
i dig it, i used it for awhile theni t justy didnt fit my style. i like it then i hate it. i drive the other trucks pretty often so it got on my nerves after awhile.
but I'm thinking for btc i might add it to the tractor, as its just gonna be tootin along on the trails. i think it would ADD to the neat factor of the tractor to have it,
but i can also remember being on the trails and wishing that guy behind me would turn his off....

just taking a poll
I've not dont that yet ao figured twas time

Before I vote, do you have room and enough connections to add one?
Last time you bought one, you kind of got tired of it, and it went in your son's truck.
Are you really feelin' the vibe this time, or just doing it because you can?

yes to both, this is that same one, i think if i can find a sound like an actual tractor it COULD be cool
 
I think it could be fun. If you enjoy it, if it adds more realism or fun to the tractor, install it!
Screw other ppls opinions. We only get one shot at this 'life' thing. If you think you'll enjoy it, bolt it on!

I would just be sure that it has a power switch just in case it does bother the other drivers when you're out on a trail.

I also enjoy the sounds of nature so a mix of off and on sound would prob be how I would use it anyways.

The tractor is a unique build so cool, quirky, funky and different all 'fit' this truck.
 
I have DCC/Sound/lights in some of my N-scale Locos and absolutely love it! You can time the chugs to the model's speed on the Steam locos, ring bells, blow steam whistles, do coupling and brake sounds, etc. These are not the simple DC models I owned growing up! I can turn all of those on/off via the controller.

It's already engineered for it, so if it's anything like the DCC described above, I say why not?...
 
In the event you can not find the correct sound.....the next best option is to find the most ridiculous sound and run with it anyway
 
I am not sure I could convince Mrs Certified that I ordered a cute asian girl for my RC car. 🤔

No, seriosly hun! I did!!! Watch what she can do!!! :rolleyes:🤣
well I'm fighting with the wife now.. thanks @Doom! for making me watch it 15 times.... purely to compare the sounds mind you! clearly i was judging the sfx in the video, my glasses just make me hear slightly better
