Thank You for this. Not only do you show what each IR system does but the range. I am looking for a Tank and I wonder do you use other systems? I am looking forward to more reviews. I was looking at airsoft but this looks more fun.
patricksp71 we run TK Clark boards and of course the stock HL MFU. We are working towards Tamiya battle code , which TK Clark is capable of. But not everyone can afford to buy the hobby radio and the TK board. The Mako fills in this gap, and we are working on the Mako so we can play all 3 boards (Tamiya, Clark and Mako) together with Tamiya code.
Just subscribed, your upgrade videos for the Heng Long tanks are very helpful, could you do a video of how to install IR battle system in them and what's the best quality for the Heng Long tanks?
they already did and it's not suitable, as it's fragile, and breaks inside the BB mechanism and causes jams. Not worth the trouble, AND any projectiles is dangerous. IR battle system is far more reliable and safer infinitely.
Do you think I can mount a taigen infared firing unit on henglong? I want to convert my airsoft tanks, but I also want barrel recoil at a low price, which only taigen has
well the systems are not really compatible and usually (with the exception of the new Taigen airsoft with recoil) you only can choose airsoft or recoil only. you'll need to change the MFU board to something like the CLARK TK boards, IBU, El-Mod, which supports the recoil function. also you can just wire the IR LED with your airsoft tank anyway (replace the red led in the manlet with the IR LED)
Very comparable. The most important thing is to 3D printed cover we have developed to give the same 45 degrees deflection "armour" (not shown in this old video)
no- they are not compatible. Different IR codes. But we have the piggy-back board that allows HL, Taigen and Tamiya to play together! MAKO2018, available from our website www.rctanklegion.com
that's what it does? after taking away all the lives (HL is 5 lives, Tamiya has variable settings) the tank shuts down and you can't control it (until you reset) or in CLARK's case, for a short while.
