My name is Frank, ive got a Torro King Tiger Pro Edition BB 1/16 tank.
Its been sitting on a shelf in my office for a couple of years now.
For a long time now ive been wanting to upgrade it alittle.
So after reading forums, and reading about all the different kind of electronics for tanks ive decided what way to go.
I got a IBU 3, TARR MK1 12V Smoke Unit, 5000mAh NiMH batteries and a Walkera Devo 12S with RX1202.
I might go the LiPo way later. But atm NiMH will be fine for me.
Im aware the smoker makes less smoke with a 7,2V battery, but then hopefully the oil lasts longer
I went with the Devo 12S for several reasons.
The sticks/gimbals in the Devo's are factory ready for the self centering setup, you just loosen a screw in the non self centering one, and voila its now self centering
Its 12 channel.
There is great and very versatile software for Devo's at: https://www.deviationtx.com/
Lets me make a full "Tank Theme" on the transmitter with background, icons ect.
I found it at a Price lower then Spektrum DX8, which was my first choice till I found the Devo 12S.
The Devo 12S just looks amazing
No gearbox upgrade yet, but have been looking at Waltersons High Grade and Taigen Premium Series III both in 4:1 and 5:1.
Been leaning most toward Taigen Premium Series III 5:1.
Thats alittle about me and my tank project.
