Another Cheap R/C Conversion

Using G Scale Graphics Simple Critter Control, an inexpensive transmitter/receiver, a toggle switch and a 12 volt Li-on battery, I have R/Cd two Bachmann trams for very simple radio control. The Simple Critter control sets the speed desired. Press button A on the transmitter and the tram starts at that speed. Press button B and the tram stops.....instantly. In the interest of rider safety and comfort, and not wanting to hear from any attorneys, I keep the speed down to a comfortable level.

Some photos of the works.

Looks to be a nice simple set up. What was the cost sans batteries?
 
Nice conversion and clever use of simple bits...... but why is the young lady passenger at the back of the car apparently making a rude gesture at the camera....? :rofl:

Ahhh....... from the angle of the photo it didn't look like a ciggie, looked more like a ring on her finger....
Filthy habit, she should give it up.... ;)
