No issue at all mate .
Did you print your parts or did you buy them from Ryan ?
I think what happens at that centre join for the hull stabilizers is some printers aren't big enough to print a complete stay so they do one at a a time then join them (I think) I have a huge printer so I'm good .
I'm printing right now I threw an idler arm out my fault , I'm a little ham fisted and where the hex rod received in the idler arm it broke .lol

Yeah, my printer was not big enough, so I had to splice. It works fine this way.

If you are using a Clark board with a servo it's usually J2 and it works straight out of the box, just plug and play but use a quality high torque/speed servo for that recoil hit like in real life a digital servo you can adjust to super fast recoil and set the return speed how you like it . If you're just using a physical thru the RX use the flap servo and same use a good servo. If you're just going thru a RX use a Helo setting as you could get all sorts of pop up effects with the extra channels and probably use the receiver/gyro for the 2 plane system the later Shermans had .

Cheers mate .
Thanks, great info!!! I want to get a smoke machine working also but have not gotten that far.

All parts purchased from Ryan. The printer answer makes perfect sense.

hello,
being a beginner in radio control (1/6 is a fairly huge scale!), I wanted to know if you could help me by giving me a diagram of the connections to be made from spyker engines for the dragon sherman as well as the list of electronic parts to buy in addition to the spiker kit?
I would like: to roll the tank forward / backward, to turn it right / left, to turn the turret, to have the recoil of the gun with a light diode for shooting, and above all to have the sound (shooting, rolling)
Also , which lipo battery ( or other )take? thank you in advance for your precious help....
