Ian's new servo recoil

Post by Jake79 »

Hi All

For £12 they look a good buy, has anyone fitted one? easy to install? or better off with a clark.

Cheers

Jake

Thanks Jake, they look similar to the Clark ones. A very similar principal with a servo and gearwheel. I like the way it has 3 different gear sizes to vary the amount of recoil.
I would say go for whichever is cheapest or easiest to get.

Its drops in nicely as a Heng long replacement pretty simple well worth the money

How does this mod work? Is it compatible with any Heng Long tank?
