How to Put Speakers on an RC Car
Installing a speaker system into your R/C vehicle will be a way to give your model a "car stereo." You'll be able to blast your favorite tunes from the R/C car as it drives by, giving the hobby a new twist. This can be done simply and quickly after you've acquired the required system components for your portable audio system.
Things You'll Need
- R/C vehicle
- Velcro adhesive strips
- Portable speaker unit, such as a Manhattan
- Small MP3 player

Open your R/C vehicle. Find a space where your speaker unit will fit and still allow you to close the vehicle's shell over it. Experiment with the placement until you've found a way to fit this in.

2
Use a piece of Velcro to secure the speaker unit onto the vehicle's chassis.

Plug your speaker unit into your audio player, and play a song on the audio player. Make sure the speaker unit is turned on if necessary. Once you hear the music, adjust the volume on the speaker unit or your audio player to the desired level.

Replace the vehicle's body shell. Turn on your R/C car and drive it around. You should be hearing the music as you drive. When finished driving, turn off the speaker unit, the audio player, and your R/C vehicle and transmitter until the next use.
