Hopefully I'll find out very shortly. Once it gets here I'll swap it over and update the results on this thread. I'm off on holidays in a couple of days so it may have to wait for a fortnight, we'll see.

Having got back from my holiday I finally got around to swapping the unit over .........and it's made no difference whatsoever so I will upgrade it at some stage. I'm happy with all of the sounds except for the one when the tank is moving. Never mnd - it's still a brilliant piece of kit that I enjoy owning.

I was told that all of the Taigen tanks have the same sound unit.

They do, but some seem to work better than others. My Taigen T-34 like yours, is not so good. The Tiger 1 is nice and sharp. My new Sherman, very good, Pershing is not good. Also, I find that some of the tanks turn better than others.

I think I can forgive it Joe as it's such a nice model.

Yes, they are very smooth runners.
