Functions
The
ElMod 3to
provides the following key features:
•
Drive
•
a 10A (20A peak current) short circuit and overload protected driver for a DC motor for the truck's engine
•
ElMod physics engine 2.0: a realistic driving experience of commanding a truck by simulation of mass inertia. Acceleration,
deceleration, maximum speed, gear shift and many other properties are simulated
•
all parameters of the physics engine are adjustable with the
ElMod App
•
steering: a common servo is directly connected with the receiver
•
Lighting
•
three lighting channels: front lights, combined rear lights with brake light, blackout light
•
the lighting may be remotely switched on and off (front lights and rear lights on, blackout light on, all lights off)
•
the brightness of each light channel can be individually adjusted by the
ElMod App
•
for each light one or two LEDs may be connected without further effort, no external resistors or other parts are necessary.
•
the light connection is short circuit protected. The LEDs can't be damaged by false polarity
•
color-coded cables with polarity reversal protection are included
•
Sounds
•
integrated, polyphone sound unit plays several different sounds simultanously
•
various sound events: several motor start sounds with distinction between cold start and warm start, several engine off sounds.
Engine sounds for the movement with simulated gear change. Optional collateral driving noises such as chassis squeal and optional
surrounding noises. Up to three sounds that can be triggered anytime by the user, for example a horn
•
seperate volume control of every sound type and extensive configuration of the sound parameters with the
ElMod App
•
all provided samplesets are on an included and ready-to-use microSD card.
•
integrated 1W audio amplifier for the connection of a 8 Ohm loudspeaker
•
control with a common RC gear (radio and receiver, 40 MHz or 2.4 GHz) with at least two channels (acceleration and steering). An
optional third channel can be used for light control and for triggering user defined sounds. The receiver doesn't need an additional battery.
•
operation with NiCd-, NiMh- or LiPo-Batteries with a voltage between 7.2 V and 8.4 V. Under voltage shut down for protection against
deep discharge.
•
compact dimensions (67 mm x 40 mm; 2,6" x 1,6") permit installation in small-sized spaces
Requirements
The following requirements must be met:
•
a common 40 MHz or 2.4 GHz RC-gear with at least two channels. To be able to use all functions a three channels radio and receiver are
required.
•
an appropriate high current-compliant battery (6- or 7-cells NiCd, NiMh or a 2S LiPo)
•
a suitable counter part for the battery connector with at least 0,5 mm² gauge
•
a steering servo (max. current 0,9 A)
•
interference suppressed DC motor for the main drive
•
Any type and color for the vehicle's lighting
•
an 8 Ohm speaker with at least 1 W for the sound rendering
