Ah yes, it does doesn't it. Maybe all is not lost if there is a solution. Spent most of today researching and drawn a blank. I was certain this would have been encountered frequently as the turrets are not that expensive for an excellent effect. Cheers for the pointers so far :thumbup:

Thanks, this looks interesting. Not sure I understand the last line, where does that wire go to?

Hello,
The black wire goes on one of the two wires of the contact shot ball,seems to me that the one more back,to make a test support servo runs permanently ( not good )is with recoil and the OK

Cracked it. This is how to connect a Taigen bb recoil turret to heng long dual sound electronics. The result is bang, shot and recoil at same time. Still get the track recoil, but i can live with that for now.
Rewire gun exactly the same as stock heng long gun. Remove turret switch and rewire elevator motor the same as heng long motor. This effectively removes the elevator motor from the gun circuitry. Swap the servo single black wire to the gun side of the bb switch. Use the supplied split power lead with servo power connector. Job done.
Now, anyone know how to lose the track recoil? :D

Could you take a few pictures...I can do w/o the BB option, right now I have a recoil/flash barrel kit coming my way via dePanzer in Germany. I wanted to use the Taigen turret, but couldn't find a picture tutorial, quick written instruction on how to do the swap. If I could get a solid info on installing the Taigen, might opt for that instead.
