Does the Clark Tk35 work for Heng long tanks?

Post by Blackadder123 »

Hello,

Stumbled across someone selling the rather unknown Clark Tk35 board..... From my research, it seems like its meant for static 1/35 tanks converted to RC. I was wondering whether it can also be installed in the standard Heng Long tank.... And how it would differ from the widespread Tk22?

Thanks for any tips guys :D

It is functionally equivalent other than the fact that you need to convert all the connectors to the mini ones that Clark uses on the flash/IR emitter/receiver on there Tk-22 series board. I believe they are the 1mm spacing connectors.

Here's a picture of the board in question.....



Would the large connector in the middle suit the HL 8 pin one?

I have one of these boards and had used it in a Heng Long build. The plug you are talking about is for Gun Barrel Stabilizer (J6) and it is simply the same 1mm spacing verion of the mini connectors. It is not for Heng Long 8 pin plugs and you cannot just plug it there even if it fits. If you go onto Clark's website you can find the wiring schematic for the Tk-35s.

If you want to use one of these for a Heng Long 1/16 build you simply need to source the mini connectors.
