For a bit of back story I live on the English coast in a tourist trap town I'm wanting to mess with the loud drunk and obnoxious tourist.
So for the problem Im wanting to fit a air horn and flood lights to my arrma Talion with an fpv system but I don't have a clue where to start how to start or what would work and what wont any advice would be helpful.
P.S. I'm thinking of starting a go fund me to get the project started would that be a good idea in your opinion? X

You need to talk to Hammerdown. He makes train air horns that will blow those tourist into the next continent. Its hand held however. There's a whole build thread on it but I'm far to ignorant to post a link. Welcome to the forum!

Chances are where they come from is loud and obnoxious so they might actually enjoy the show.

One thing no one likes is large vermin. Build a large hairy RAT around your truck with long orange teeth, long tail and red beaty eyes. That should scare the sh!t out of them.

For the air horn, use a servo to engage the horn button with a servo horn, no pun, 1 RX and 1 small battery. You could probably set that up with just duct tape and you could put those air horn bombs anywhere within TX range along their path of drunkenness, not just in your truck. (y)

Don't forget the Red LED eyes...
You'll need to have 8 of them on top of the head, for the proper effect.

And if you can have the "eyeballs" turn on or off ,so as to make it appear to move/track the person, that should really freak a drunkard out..

This should send shivers down anyone's back that's walking the drunken streets at night..

It just needs the 8 Red LED motion tracking eyeballs!

Red eyes on your head, or the dog's? Maybe both, to be safe.

Welcome to the forum, Slimypacman! Are you thinking about using a self-contained horn? Like one that you buy that already has compressed air in it? Then, as gotnitro said, you can presumably focus on just mounting the horn somewhere, and rigging up a servo to let you push the button. Depending on how hard the button is to push, you may need a bit of mechanical advantage.
