Key Features

Seamless Integration & Configurability

• Syncs wirelessly with our all of our props via Wi-Fi/BTTFN protocol for speedo speed control, alarms, and audio.
• Wire up to 8 different remote switches to the control board to trigger sounds, or MQTT (Home Assistant) routines.
• Features an advanced Wi-Fi Config Portal for setting speed modes (linear/movie), enabling coasting/auto-throttle, and integrating MQTT.
• Load sounds on an SD card and trigger them with a remote switch.

Stanley Displays

• Meticulously reproduced 7 piece Stanley numeric displays, with accurate yellow color (LEDs), showing speed digits just like the original prop. Bodies are 3d printed in ABS plastic.
• Lenses are acrylic with a diffuser backing.
• Precision bent laser cut metal mounting bracket

Display Wires

• The wiring harness faithfully replicates the original design, ensuring authentic visual detail.
• All wires are used and attached to the Stanley display pins, just like the original.

Control Board & Prop Sync

• Wireless control via an ESP32 board that precisely manages throttle using your Futaba transmitter’s elevator stick.
• Speed up or slow down, but once you reach 88 mph a time-travel is triggered on all synced props.

Movie-Accurate Stop Light & Switch

• Features an authentic Molex 1820 “Stop” light (replica red lens)
• Genuine stop/brake switch, mirroring the original behavior, complete with switch sound effect.

Power & Calibration

• Rechargeable 5000mAh lipo battery
• Includes calibration routines via onboard button for throttle zero/endpoint setup.
• Fake “ON/OFF” switch; remote-off mode also displays Speedo speed (e.g. GPS speed in vehicle use).

Designed for meticulous builders and fans craving the authentic DeLorean experience.

*Modification of display bracket is needed unless using a T8 remote. Depending on the remote, for the bracket to sit flat on the top of the remote, either the smaller or larger lip of the bracket will have to be cut off.
