Hey, that's okay Collectively, we can give Hartley the options he needs to mull over.tankme wrote:I guess since he asked about the smoker function I addressed the smoker question. The cannon smoke unit upgrade I saw at RC Tank Legion didn't have the recoil unit included.43rdRecceReg wrote:Indeed, but this arrangement requires quite a bit of work to modify the airsoft gun, to remove the airsoft function. However, there's no recoil function to replace airsoft, as is often the case. The HL unit (above) is designed to provide smoke, gunflash and recoil.
Since he didn't ask about the recoil function it really didn't enter my mind. I would assume that he either didn't care about it or already had that part sorted. I will agree that if want recoil you would more than likely need to upgrade to the 6.1 or other electronics. There would also be additional mechanical work to achieve that goal.
Haya's 'smokin' barrel' feature in the top end Chieftain ( recoil+ smoke+flash+IR batteling) is what I would go for- were it not for the fact that IR battling, where I live, is not an option
I was sent this diagram with the new servo HL recoil unit (designed for the 6.1s board). It shows how the smoker is attached to it, even if the text lacks a little clarity...
Going back to your original question, Hartley- if I were you, I'd replace the whole airsoft unit (instead of hacksawing it to death) with this HL recoil unit above. It's available from Forgebear. But that's just me. However, you'll also need the 6.1s board, or a later Clark board to get a recoil function with your flashing smoke.
