Dah! I bought this servo relay converter and it's not working. Would you know why? TK 7.0, same wire setup, maybe the servo motor? What kind is yours, much thanks.
@@DansDailyOpinions Geeze, that's been so long ago I can't remember where I picked it up from. I wanna say ebay. Its important that you look very closely at the video as I tried to zoom in on all the hookup points. I believe it's port CN6 that MUST have a jumper.
@@kennethrich2107 makes sense yeah cause I wanna do that modification on my tank. It’s not correct the way heng long made it. It’s not original. I would definitely make this mod on my RC tank too because I’d like to keep it original. My other question to how you made the markings to where you need to drill the holes for and is there a kit for the smoke nipple adapter for it as well
@@ryanfailano6354 Read this thread. Im Zippersnapper BTW.. www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-cars-tanks-trucks-and-more/rc-tanks/361414-official-heng-long-1-16-scale-soviet-union-kv-2-heavy-tank-discussion-thread
How are the externals of this M4A3E8? I'm planning on buying one as more of a shelf beauty. Or am I better of buying a Heng Long M4A3 with Richard Johnson HVSS suspension?
Insanity at the 1:40 mark that was so quick of a launch I for sure thought you were going to lose it into the garage door, thing sounds incredible through the internet, could probably fool someone riding a bicycle he he no it just me rc car lol.
Nothing wrong with small amps I really like the Roland micro cube for that reason at one time I had four running at once each on a different amp model fed by two pedal boards using the dimebag crybaby wah as a splitter up front and each pedal chain ended with a Mxr eq which split to two that doubled gave me the option to run the four micro cube amps with no hum hiss or ground loops! That’s when I got one of the splitter devices from Rene Martinez can run up to six amps I parted with the micro cubes and went quilter micro blocks, and am currently trying to incorporate three pedal boards each per own amp pedals differ each chain there’s the Hendrix board, srv board, and Clapton esk board. Oh yeah that micro cube setup was fairly loud for the little 3 watt amps. One of my favorite mini amps is the peavey 5150 micro amp ran on adaptable power supply at 3-5 volts at 3 volts it’s pure fuzz that cleans up beautifully at 5 v there’s a hint of fuzz. Rock on bro!
Very cool, didn’t know if you were showing your work or someone else’s, but that’s awesome you have some skills. I seen some of your hobby posts that lead me here I to have some music experience but not at your level. I was thinking about making a splitter plug for cn9 like running two guitar amps to help lower the input to each stock speaker maybe making them less crappie but believe you have solved it and showed the way to go. Thanks again looking forward to trying to incorporate this mod into my sons Abrams and my merkava. I see the building the right size box being the hardest part.
@@scottbrodie3071 Indeed. The only tank that Dayton speaker fitrs in, is the Abrams (which my latest video of that tank has it in) Too many tankers in the hobby insist on Visaton speakers, when they simply dont understand speakers in general. Impendance is one thing, sensitivity is another, free air resonance yet another. IE; there are better options out there. I wish youuy the best of luck. Any questions, please dont hesitate to ask.
Indeed the things you mentioned about speakers is very correct Iearned what you say with replacing my guitar speakers and looked into what you mentioned when I had purchased them I like to use at least two different speakers at once in my guitar setup but it’s geared towards three speakers a 15, and 2 12’s in a three amp setup. The speaker being the most important part of the setup I learned. Appreciate your insight and advice. Thanks SB
@@scottbrodie3071 Im still using my simple Orange practice amp...I dont play very often. Most all of my speaker expereince comes from building Sub boxes back in the day when low rider mini pickups and exteem high end car stereo was the rage....Im old.
Can you make a video on how you do that please. I don't get it What do you mean by putting a fan Instead of the smoker. A inside look would be a huge help thanks man
Are you sure you ordered the right ring adapter? There are several versions of the adapter corresponding to the different 007 models, eg. A, V, S, SP etc. I have one of these adaptors for my SP and the snap on locking ring fits tighter than the stock PARD one. The PARD crosshair is only an alignment and orientation tool. It does not need to match your crosshair perfectly because all the PARD is doing is staring at the scope picture. It all works off of your scopes existing zero. Technically even with the adapter flapping around like yours your shots should still go where the scope reticle is aiming.
@@kennethrich2107 When mine happened I was 9 or so and inside the house and parents said you will go blind even not looking at it. I just remember it going dark. next one here will be in 2038, i am 56. This is Victoria Australia i am in by the way.
It should definately be a better fit considering the price but just one observation. When fitted you are looking at the crosshairs inside your scope so the point of impact will not change no matter how sloppy the fit is. The image will move around but the crosshairs are fixed relative to your scope alignment. not the PARD
Yes, I know. Been shootong for over 50 years..well versed on optics. The PARD unit has crosshairs as well, which can be and are aligned with your scopes crosshairs. Taking pictures and/or video with the PARD, and having the 2 sets of crosshairs mis-aligned looks silly. Imagine everytime looking through your scope and seeing 2 sets of crosshairs. Try it out....especially on a hunt.
@@kennethrich2107 Hi, why would you ever want both sets of crosshairs in view? The PARD unit crosshairs are only a tool to help during setup, once done switch them off then you only have one set of crosshairs. By the way, Been shooting over 60 years......and well versed on optics!
You are right, you can indeed turn off the PARD crosshair alignment. As stated, it does NOT affect shot placement. What it does however, is skew the crosshairs in the photos and video. In my case, a portion of the lower part of the crosshairs are not visible. I was expecting full field of view as seen through the scope. Savvy ? @@fxpeter22
Yep, I see where you are coming from on the photos and vids. I have my PARD fitted to a First Focal Plane scope which has a low base mag so on the low setting the reticle is completely visible with plenty of space around it. If i gently increase the scope mag I can get it to match the full screen size. Enjoy your shooting 🙂@@kennethrich2107
Thanx. Yea, I bought one of those cheap pre-made LED landing zones awhile back and discovered it really didnt show up that well at night, so I figured I could do better. I love flying at night.
Okay. I bought one. It doesn't have the option to turn off "super spin" (neutral steer). It does have an adjustable momentum effect they call "start up tank speed". This is a feature they copied from clark tk boards that I like but strangely on the Tk26 it only effects the forward/backwards movement and not the steering which is very stupid. If you turn off the mixer in settings (they call automatic mode) so the two drive motors are totally separate the momentum setting only effects 1 channel/motor.
@@kennethrich2107 Thanks for this review. Overall I think this is a nice product especially for what it costs. For a serious RC model tank enthusiast it has its drawbacks. Next we need to get one working in a tank and test its IR battle compatibility with Tamiya, Heng long and other tanks/boards.
Roger that. As stated, for the money, and for what you get, its hard to beat. Imagine if Canshuo would incorporate the ability to add sound packages, it would be incredibly awesome. I have this board in my Leopard and it performs well IMO. I cant speak on the IR ability, as I dont do any IR battling, hence all IR equipment is gutted out of all my tanks.@@schmitty1944
@@alanw2235 Not allot. As soon as the Merkava gets reasonable in price, Ill get back into it. I'm back into Drones ATM...thanx for asking !

Good afternoon, maybe this is a strange question, but do you have some instructions how to modify this smoker? Because I want to buy tigen js-2 and replace the stock smoke unit with this one
The description of the video pretty much sums it up. I take a stock HL smoker and get rid of the Blower motor. After grinding down the tube, what your left with is a small hole in the side of the tank. Buy a 5v 25mm brushless fan and glue it to the side where the small hole is. On Taigen boards you must combine the Fan & Heater coil JST into one plug. I get my fans off of eBay.
@@kennethrich2107 and the last couple of questions 😅. Which one smoke fluid do you use (stock or you bought something new)? And if it's not a secret, which one model of fan you are using, how does it call?
No, its rear wheel drive (as it comes stock). My goal with this RC was to have a good looking & fast muscle car, not a drag car. Figuring out how to make front "Brakes" so it will do a proper burnout is my next hurdle
Its a henglong smoker that I modified. See my other vids on this topic. If your looking for a factory HL smoker, They can be had on eBay by typing "Henglong Smoker"...also can be bought from Ali Express, Toucan, etc, etc..
@@kennethrich2107 hi Ken, the henglong smoker and the 25mm fan has arrived. The hole for original fan is small. I'm assuming that the hole needs to be enlarged to accommodate the 25mm fan? Also, the 2 wires from the smoker plug directly back into the smoker connection on the taigen V3 board?. However , the fan wire connect to 7.2v and ground so that the fan is always running at full speed, am I correct?
@@Andrew-dz3gq No sir. Actually it does not. I have experimented enlarging the hole myself and it does little to increase the output. Just make sure the center of the fan BLADE is over the center of the hole.
@@Andrew-dz3gq Yes. On the Taigen board, you combine both the heating coil (smoke box) and the fan into one JST connection, plugging that into the smoker port. This gives you proportional smoke, meaning the faster you drive the tank, the more smoke comes out. Only the polarity of the fan is important (so the fan spins in the right direction) The heater coil has no polarity. The unit will now only operate when the button is pressed on the transmitter. IF you want maximun smoke, then the fan must be wired constantly hot, as soon as you turn the tank on. This is done by wiring the fan positive lead through the switch that powers on the tank, and the ground from the fan to the negative lead of the battery. The heating coil will then be the only connection into the smoker port on the Board.
Which speaker do you need the part number to? Also, my second video shows my favorite Dayton audio speaker which is smaller yet delivers the same low end sound quality. The speaker connectors (and just about all connectors on RC Tank Motherboards) are called JST 2.54mm 2 pin which can be found just about everywhere including Ebay & Amazon. My Favorite Dayton speaker: www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-PC68-4-2-1-2-Full-Range-Poly-Cone-Driver-295-150?quantity=1
@@kennethrich2107 Hi Ken, I purchased a Dayton Audio speaker after watching your speaker videos. All I need now is the 2 pin connectors. Thank JST connector info.
Yes sir. As with any combination of tank brand/motherboard, its a matter of finding the wires that control each function. Such as: Barrel elevation,turret rotation, headlights, etc etc. Then its a matter of placing those in the corresponding plugs in the board. If you know Taigen/Torro tank pinout, then its pretty easy. The one thing that may throw you for a loop is Taigen/Torro Smoker. Remember, its a 1 JST plug hookup. unlike this setup which mirrors Henglong (2 JST). But thats easy to make work of course.
Hi kenneth, I have one tk 26 Mainboard with its transmitter, and I just bought Two more tk26 can I bind them using just on transmitter, thanks in advance
Contact the seller, tell him you want one for a Taigen/Torro...He's very reputable. www.ebay.com/itm/364163048279?hash=item54c9cf2357:g:oyIAAOSw18Nd~0ZP&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoGOsnKfx4x2uNPJ%2FMsU1gf7UdnM56t3tS92S42seqMT2ruKicvbN0uHfSU%2BJ8sLlbOi6Kdo6vN0x8vg0v6sDnUJQlOxttmcFvdQU3KoU9Fk3Xu35VIBRhhaggOPhgLJiJQddfBH8EB3NJVaCMa6tu1xJ2jnmzz%2FB4oiw0Mn1TTh3X3wPLNPNKgTb2C59DoCe5ygAcwx9PzqDgnS%2F7ViChjs%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-Lu7OjVYQ
Hi Kenneth, Good video Do you think tge DSA 90 8 would fit in a tiger 1? Was gonna make a custom box for the whole rear of the tiger got a mato full metal one with the v7.1 pcb. Gonna saw/grind off any bits in the way inside. Hope I have enough room in there as it sounds great.
John, I doubt it. I could only reccomend this speaker in Larger Tanks such as the Abrams (which I have it in) Leopard, Etc. However, if you look at speaker shootout #2, The Dayton PC68-4 at 2.5" is really impressive and should fit in the Tiger 1 especially if you move things around, such as the smoke box. Most of the speakers I have made, I had to do this. Take measurements to insure the height of the box/speaker will allow turret rotation and not get hung up with barrel elevation-important. Because I wack the plastic off of the lower portion of the recoil mechanism during my Servo conversions, I dont have to worry about interference for the most part.
@@jdpasltrains Sweet. My next purchase may be quite awhile as Im waiting on someone, preferably Henglong, or Torro to produce the IDF Merkava 4. Rumor has it, that Henglong is supposed to be maiking it, but that rumor is years old. Fingers crossed still. The Abrams is the only modern battle tank I own.
