Tamiya flash unit + IBU 2

Post by EddyK »

Good afternoon, gentlemen!
I have a question - is it possible to connect Tamiya flash unit to the IBU 2 Pro board?
IBU board has only two pins socket for the flash unit, but Tamiya connector has 4 pins...

No it cannot be connected.

It has 2 pins for the LED flash and 3 pins for a Xenon flash unit (Taigen, Heng Long).

From my experience the Taigen & Heng Long flash units are rubbish quality and fail so I tend to use high intensity white LED in my tanks.
