What? The new Futaba radio doesn't have the changing LED? Dang, and I just ordered one.

Same reason why your brake lights have to be red and no other color. The red wavelength will carry further and look brighter to make your car more visible at night.

Yes the LED does change. But not the wavelength... :whistle:

Like I said, I just need to STFU lol

Had a weird day yesterday.

I have a Bright orange Body on my GS Storm and it seems to glow in the dark when I'm running my car, or taking photos at night.

Ok, I attatched a picture. This Is not glow in the dark paint, There is no special lighting and no computer editing has been done to this picture besiding resizing and croping.

I wonder why? :trashed: :jk:

One of the services our company provides is sound level compliance. I just got the low down from our sound complicance guru. He's gone to court for clients and given expert testimony.

Listen up.

In general, there are not concrete laws that limit sound. In general if you neighbor can hear you, you're too loud. The argument that you can be loud because the neighbor is loud (lawn mower) dosen't hold water. First, the lawn needs to be cut the R/C, however, doesn't need to run. If you are bugging your neighbor they have right to complain and have charges brought up against you.

The Sound Guru's advice was to find a "silencer" (a quiter pipe). He also stressed that even a little drop in dB will help out a lot. As a rule up thumb, a drop of 3 dB will cut the noise in half. We nerdy types know dB isn't linear but logrithmic and that's why that's true.

I also found this is very interesting:

On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (near total silence) is 0 dB. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 dB. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 dB. A sound 1,000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 dB. Here are some common sounds and their decibel ratings:

Near total silence - 0 dB
A whisper - 15 dB
Normal conversation - 60 dB
A lawnmower - 90 dB
A car horn - 110 dB
A rock concert or a jet engine - 120 dB
A gunshot or firecracker - 140 dB

If you RC is running at 90 dB and a new pipe can drop by 10 dB, GET THAT PIPE. Even 3-5 dB is worth it.

Bottom line: keep your neighbors happy. I like the "Pass the Pistol" idea. I would turn the end point down to 30% before I handed it over though. Hook your neighbor on R/C and you'll both be out there: :radio: :radio:

Good Luck Kwong I think the Savage stocker pipe blows balls anyway. Grab that THS 1/8 Off-Road Racing pipe. I don't know how it does for noise but it's a sweet hop-up regaurdless.

Skrew the neighbors if they dont like it,as a nitro r/c owner and a audiophile my neighbors arent fond of my noise levels either,but after a few years they finnaly realized the more they bitched the more I would anoy them, so they just learned to live with it!!!

 

[El Pirata]

Interesting logic. It's all fun and games until you are wearing the bracelets.

 

[SavageThunder21]

my neighbor doesn't like me running my savage....he complains all the time...but him and his wife can frig all night and wake up the neighbors on both sides of his house....so one night they were screaming while doing their thing...i go out side and fire up my weedeater...(3 in the morning) surprisingly enough, I havent heard them in 2 weeks...

 

[SilentGTboy]

LOL, Thats good.
