Beier Electronic USM-RC-3 Sound module without DVD-ROM and manual

Description

The USM-RC-3 sound module is the successor to our proven USM-RC-2 sound module. The module has been extensively revised, improved and expanded with more functions - and all of this with the same small design of 65 x 43 x 17 mm.
The sound module was specially developed for RC model making in order to equip all types of models with true-to-original and speed-dependent noises, numerous lighting options and additional servo movements.
Due to the extensive setting options, each model can be designed individually and uniquely according to your own ideas. Over 140 preset projects for trucks, cars, ships, construction vehicles and planes make it easy and quick to get started.
