Dude thats pretty cool!! I guess you are using the same/similar set up for the exhaust smoker? Could you use a less powerfull fan so the smoke doesnt go so far from the end of barrel?

Here's my last modification : I put back the flash unit bulb inside the gun barrel and glued a small screen in the muzzle break to diffuse the smoke ....

is that tamiya or heng long

Much better mate with the smoke being broken up like that, this idea is great indoors ,but does get lost when outside battling, the wind however light just takes it away, ..anyway as long as you enjoy it , go for it ,as the more atmosphere there is the better it always looks.

This is a H.L. tank with RX-18 board and the Asiatam recoil unit ...
As for the look outdoors ; I guess only time and tests outdoors will tell

Looking much better,
thought nit must be a HL, cos Tam's won't let you fire in such quick succession.
Well done
