Going back to the V12 has engine, I'm thinking of using one of these in conjunction with the electric motors just for the noise and smoke signature , no sound card needed, no smoke module needed, just link it to the electric motor esc's control to sync

If you were to couple the V12 to a generator you could power the motors rather than using batteries..... 8) Didn't the Elephant have such a set up in real life?
