Smoke generator voltage 6 or 7.4V

Post by chumanji9 »

Hi all,
I am very new to the Tank world. I would like to purchase a smoke generator. I notice there are 6 and 7.4 volt smoke generators. Which is compatible with the Henglong TK6.1s board?

Correct me if I’m wrong but the voltage there means the fan voltage or the pump voltage. I believe 7.4v will be fine.

Heng Long v6 and V6.1 compatible smoker

This unit, sold by Andrew Haya should be fully compatible with the V6.1s unit, I believe.

If anyone is interested these fan motors come from AliExpress for about 3eur a piece. If you already have a tarr type of smoker this could make a welcome upgrade.

That looks like the unit they're putting in the turret on the Abrams to give smoke from the barrel when you fire the main gun.

Now I'm wondering why the first photo didn't appear when I quoted Roy's post.

Thanks for all the reply guys. I was interested in that exact smoker in one of the early post with the youtube video. I saw it on aliexpress and thought the price was reasonable.

Heng Long tk 6.0S and 6.1S at CN11 and CN12 port feed 6.0 v constant not like 6.0 CN11 feed at battery voltage.
That :s mean if you use 3S lipo CN11 feed 12.6v first.
