Sorry guys I will adjust the IBU2 settings so is more realistic speed.

[Muscleflex]

Can I ask - are you all using Tamiya battle systems or is there a clone that works with tamiya's system?

[jarndice]

HI, What you need to know about I/r Battling is there are internationally recognised rules and one of them demands the use of TAMIYA compatable I/r systems. BUT it does not mean you have to use a TAMIYA Tank or a TAMIYA I/r system,
The usual way round this problem is to remove the HENG LONG RX18 control board or its TAIGEN/TORRO equivalent and replace them with a CLARK or an IBU 2 control board both of which comply with the rules and operate the I/r system in the same fashion as TAMIYA's.
It is still cheaper than buying a full spec TAMIYA Tank!

We battle to the Tamiya system although most use other systems to the Tamiya electronics.

[The Tank Man]

At the club we have Tamiya and IBU plus Clark boards and Elmods they are all compatable with each for battling plus you must have your IR emitter builb in a tube with 6mm of tube from the tip of the bulb.
This stops the gun shot effect and keeps the ir beem narrow.

[Tankbear]

9mm isn't it?

[wibblywobbly]

Yes it is.

[The Tank Man]

Yes it is.

Bugger yes 9mm
