shdwtrpr13 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Ok so doing a lot of research and I have yet to see any fans, mics, ect for the scout helmet. Just one.mention about a mini speaker nose option. What options for rigging your bucket with electronics are there?
Arnie Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Same as for the TK I would say. More actually since you have lot more room in the Scout helmet.
Chef Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I find that I don't need any fans in my Scout lid. I don't get any steaming issues. and my mic is rigged up through my balaclava, going to my speakers and ROM board set in my pouches. I don't actually have any electronics set 'in' the bucket.
shdwtrpr13 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 Hmm guess its more popular to have your Mic rigged to you pouch then. Good to know, this way it will keep my bucket light and reduce any heat from electrics
Dart Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I've only got a squirrel fan in my helmet. I bought one of MonCal's hollow snouts, drilled it out and drilled a hole in my face plate. Hooked the fan up so the duct points upwards. Aside from giving me a bit of noise when my mic is close (which is always), it works well.
Griffin-X Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I do not have anything inside mine. Since the scouts in the movie did not have an intercom like the TK-s, it made more sense to me. I've got a loud voice too so it's all good. I also find that the side vents provide good ventilation so I don't have any fans either. Sounds weird since I live in South Texas where the average temp is around 100+!
TB-7076 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Don't use Fans as I never had heating problems up to 30*C. As mentioned before the helmet design itself allows for optimal cooling conditions. However I already bought a small amp and cell phone buzzers to install into the snout tube.

TB-7076 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Cell phone buzzers are the speakers of cell phones - some are capable to produce quite some noise and their diameter of less than 20 mm makes them ideal to fit into the snout areator. I use a Nokia model similar to these:
automaton Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Ah. I thought you were referring to the little motors that spin to create the vibrating.
