Installing Clark tk22 but..........

[Wolverine Tanker]

I have a Taigen 1/16th scale Tiger 1 tank with air soft. I recently bought a Clark tk 22 board to add more realistic sounds. I received in the mail today and thought that it was going to be a 5 minute install. I got on line and watched all the available videos on how it is installed. The one thing all the videos didn't show or explain was ...When mating the upper hull to the lower where in the heck does the little red and black wire connect to the Clark board ? Please can someone help this noob out?

Send some pictures so we can help you out. I'm sure it's something simple

What wires are you trying to connect. There are. Quite a few black and red wires lol

Also is this an airsoft or IR battle tank?

I made a mistake. The wire color is red and white. I'll have some pictures tomorrow.
The more I look at your pictures I think it is the the air soft recoil switch.

OK airsoft is not plug and play with the Clark board. Some reprogramming needs to be done if this is the case ( possibly some rewiring also)

found this video of Eric at Taigen Tanks fitting a clark tk22 to a king tiger bb version it required an extra wire fitted not sure if it helps

Take a look at the photo above where they show the CN numbers. What you have is indeed the two wires for the trigger switch, and they go on pins four and five of port CN3.

Make sure your TK22 is programmed for airsoft, not IR. I believe you can do that with any sony remote (I think the power button changes from IR to airsoft) but you will need the programming device that plugs into the board (an IR receiver and LED). I've done this a few times so if you have any trouble just holler. Clark airsoft and clark IR are different animals.
