New member needing some advice.

[Marky Voodoo]

Good Morning All.

Hope you are all well.

ok guys ive been looking at getting a Clarke TK-22 Sound Card for my HL Sherman at least and then hopefully one for my HL Jagdpanther (when i get it!) lol!
I have seen it advertised from "Tankzone" for a reasonable price.

Now although im not a total novice to the hobby i have never ventured into upgrading the insides of my Tanks.. So please take it easy on me here!

Questions i have are...

will the Clark board plug straight into the RX18 unit?

Will the standard 27mhz Transmitter be sufficient to run the basic controls?

Will the standard speaker emit good enough sound?

Will the smoker still work ok with the Clark?

Will i need a different Receiver?

Im currently in the process's of ordering some bigger batteries so hoping that will help too.

Apologies for all the questions guys.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best.

Mark.

I did suspect that gents. Will have a look into the 2.4ghz multi Transmitters. Is there anywhere you can send them to have the full package installed guys?

im guessing Tankbear is a member on here Ian?

Cheers.

Mark, Hi , The biggest single downside to buying a CLARK board in the UK is TANKZONE they are to be found on the Forums BLACKLIST and for a number of very good reasons. If you have not yet been to the BLACKLIST I recommend you do so now, If you wish to uprate your board There are a number of others available, Tankbear, a member of this Forum is the UK dealer for the IBU2 and the IBU2 PRO a number of us use these boards and it has my praise, but whatever upgrade, you will need a new radio transciever. Please take the advise of someone who has been poorly dealt with by TANKZONE, give them a very wide berth, pain and anger lie that way.Tankbears site is ,

hope that helps . shaun

Morning Shaun.

Thanks very much sir, I will def take that on board, Give them a wide berth, and look at Ians site.

If you don't mind me asking what sort of price would i be looking at for a setup?

Cheers.

Hi Mark, Tankbear will give you a better idea about the price of an IBU2 but I would reckon on £ 120ish and if you trawl E-BAY you can get a decent radio for £50+ but Tankbear is the man to talk to, you will find him to be most helpful , do bear in mind that a CLARK board is about £110 plus the price of the radio so there is not much of a difference in cost, take care. shaun

Thanks ever so much Shaun. Ive had a look at his site. (most impressive).
I will get onto him as soon as pay day comes around and the wife gives me the all clear! Lol!

Cheers again.

Mark.

Happy to help with the fit Mark.

Also if you fancy a lift up to Manchester to pick up an IBU2 at a MAD meet I am sure I will be going up Aug or Sept.

Ah that's great Andy. Thankyou very much for that. May well take you up on your offer.
