Hi All

Thanks

Jake does it have to be an IBU2?
The CLARK board fits exactly inside the RX18 holder, :thumbup:
The ASP board is the same width as an RX18 and only 2.5 cms longer so by cutting off one end of the RX18 holder the ASP can be securely accommodated.
Both the CLARK and the ASP boards are cheaper than the IBU2 and in some respects the ASP is the equal of it. :thumbup:

Don't know if it is helpful or not, but I took the speaker enclosure off the Heng Long speaker to get it to fit next to the smoker on my M10 attempt. The sound has not changed from what I hear, and it sounds much better than deleting the speaker altogether.

I've managed it on my PZIII, no problem. The key to fitting it in nice it fitting servo recoil and cutting the space required by the gun assembly down

Also in the stug, I fit the amp and 2 speakers for the IBU

I dont have a pic of the PZIII

Both the base and pro are the same dimensions and the TPA can be used on both versions.

I just put an IBU2 in an airsoft Stug and that's the same lower hull. The airsoft is a bit more challenging, as it has that motor case hanging down that you have to provide clearance for. Talk about a PITA. Here's the thread, and naturally it has video. :)
