Alan! Good Evening!,
Let me answer your question before I get into the cussing and soldering portion of this post. On other Tanks like those of MATO manufacture, I have used resistors to get the lighting redone and working when adding or repairing something electrical. On Heng Long and Taigen, I have always been able to solder on a plug and find a spare port on the MFU. No Resistor required. Taigen even has a port available for a light on their MFU now. Marked as such. It is for a Backup type of light so it only works when the tank is in Reverse. The same workaround of a spare port on the MFU will still work if you want your add on tail light or convoy light lit all of the time. OK? Good! ;0) The Smoker arrived today and of course, while still workable for an older Board, my MFU was like a 1.0 or summat. *laughs* I scratched my head a minute and dispensed with my hopeful idea of just plugging in the new(er) Smoker. Some Wire cutting, soldering, %$!#@, and sealing the solder job saw the old Smoker working again. I'll try to sit down and do the detail painting tomorrow now that this repair is out of the way.
regards,
Painless

I see, too, Painless, that a bucket on each Tiger is required. I have one or two metal buckets, but I will need more.
