Swapping HL electronics from S&S Pz.III to none S&S Pz. IV ???

Post by littletankman »

Hi is it possible to swap the electronics , smoke , sound etc from a HL Pz.III and fit them into a non S&S Pz. IV ? Also is it possible to swap the electronics and S&S from a none S&S Pz.III and put them into a S&S tank

Yup it is possible cos I have just done it.

The hand held controller is different as well even though it looks the same from the outside.

The tank internals are different, but the tanks are identical so you just swap them over taking care not to break a wire off.

I use a digital camera and snap away at everything before I start to disassemble...then if the proverbial smelly stuff hits the fan...you have a pictorial refference to work from.

Diagrams are on this website to show wiring if you need them
