The siren is AWESOME!!!
I like the Knight Rider lights too!

Wow, you really got it going on, great job so far.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

Got to do a little RC work tonight. How do you install tiny nano LEDs into a light bar? The key is model wax.

All 8 lights installed.

Looking good!

^^Those tiny little wires might just be enough to push me over the edge. Man you got some patience!

I’m already humming the theme song

 

[Spksh]

…and now you all are humming it too

I like to torture myself with these tiny parts

Looks like you're doing a great job then. Carry on.

I'll try not to go as deep as adding jewelry wire to the dash like my DeLorean model...

 

[HPIguy]

I truly don't see how you guys do it. I hate wiring with a passion. LOL

Hey all,

So need a little wiring help. I want to integrate a mechanical on/off switch for the siren for the mini z.
I bought the wiring harness that is powered by a 9V battery in hopes I could use one of the switches, I'm just not sure how to wire it in or if I need another switch.

I know I need the switch in series. Just hoping for some insight before I start cutting stuff up

Any help would be great!

I'll diagram out what I'm thinking soon.

 

[HPIguy]

Can't help with that. BUT, it dawned on me that since you do all this tiny wiring, you should put a tiny speaker in there with a BT link to play the theme song also. LOL

I'll have to leave the theme song to post production videos. I don't have that much powered on this tiny thing for all that

 

[HPIguy]

And I bet without Googling it, nobody but us old guys can name who sang that theme song.

The theme song for the real Ghostbusters TV series? Or the movie?
I wouldn't know without googling it. Even though I just heard it when my husband and I were watching the Nextlander folks do their best animated TV series picks.

So I think this is what I want to do:

A. 9v wiring harness has two switches for two accessories in model cars.

B. Remove one of those switches from that wiring harness

C. Put that switch section in series to the mini z jst connector.
- so it would go speaker --> switch section (red) --> Mini connector to RC. Connecting black to black for negative side (obvs).

Lol. Knew it right away. Remember the lawsuit too.

 

[CertifiedMike]

So you are just removing the switch from the 9v harness andinstalling in the new speaker circuit, correct?

Yea. I'd just be harvesting one switch portion off the 9V harness.

 

[CertifiedMike]

If that is your intent, your schematic looks correct.
