Where is the chopper motor located on 2001's?

[Siren1000T1]

@dockwellian45 Its inside the square box in back on the horn.

i don't understand. these are completiley electronic, yet, they sound like a old air raid siren with a megaphone on it. why is that ?

[Siren1000T1]

@Droideka133 No this is a 12 port mechanical siren.

[thefastman96]

[matteng1997]

It seems like all of the SRNBs have a slightly higher pitch than the SRN and 130

[boeing63]

those things sound like trumpets from far away

@Xeadin101 Year old comment man , i know ALL about it now .

[Xeadin101]

@Droideka133 That's what I had thought at first as well, but 2001's are mechanical. Some are belt-driven, while some are not (like this one).

[BigbyBodhi5]

That is the kind were i live

[TboltHurricane]

@poppinoncrackvideos - you got those 2 mixed up. . .

[poppinoncrackvideos]

2001's are soo much better then thunderbolts.

@Siren1000T1 Actually, the motor itself is in the center cone with the big "FS" decal on it. The back box that the horn mounts to is just a support that also acts as an air intake for the chopper. There is actually a Thunderbolt chopper motor housing inside the intake box (this is what the big intake box mounts to), which has the collector rings inside to power the chopper motor.

@thecompanycar That one is right off of my street (meadowhill Dr W). I can hear it really loud from my house (I'm about halfway up the street from it)
