Recoil and elevation
Good Evening
Does anyone ever install a recoil and elevation system other than Tamiya on the MF01 module

Re: Recoil and elevation
Yes.
A Commander has to make vital decision on incomplete information in a matter of seconds, and afterwards the experts can sit down at leisure, with all the facts before them, and argue about what he might, could or should have done.- Sir William Slim
Re: Recoil and elevation
All the time, usually a Clark recoil or DKLM unit on a TK-22 control board

Re: Recoil and elevation
Are you talking exclusively to the Tamiya MF01? Something other than the kit provided recoil and elevation system?
Tanks alot....
Re: Recoil and elevation
The Tamiya system uses motors for elevation and recoil . Elevation should be easy with any non servo elevation unit. Recoil will be harder. Gears and a return spring , the gears will pull barrel in then the spring will return it to the firing position . Its making a gear system with a cut out in the gears to enable spring to work and reset gear position . Much easier to buy the proper recoil unit.
Re: Recoil and elevation
Also you need to take great care with a recoil spring, as the circuit that drives the motor can't handle a lot of current and tends to blow if there is too much resistance during operation.ronnie42 wrote:Gears and a return spring , the gears will pull barrel in then the spring will return it to the firing position .

Re: Recoil and elevation
Thank you for the answer :
But the Tamiya system is expensive and not easy to fit on a Taigen ?if an idea ?

Re: Recoil and elevation
Are you looking for a recoil solution for a tank using a Tamiya MFU, or a Taigen unit?

Re: Recoil and elevation
Short answer.
Tamiya recoil and elevation units will work on a Tamiya MFU.
Servo recoils work on any of the aftermarket boards. Eg Clark, IBU, Elmod, TCB etc.
Taigen and HL recoils work on the tanks that have the required PCB.
Making recoils work on anything that it wasn't designed for is a lot of work, and should only be attempted if you understand electronics.
