Tamiya KT Smoker

[Awins]

What is the easiest way to fit a smoker to a Tamiya KT. I see several references to smokers which quite simply only confuse the issue.
Surely I must be able just to buy a smoker and maybe with a little fitting skill and adjustment fit this into my KT.
Any thoughts please.

In a Tamiya tank, it is more a question of space, to accommodate the smoker, who asks questions, but already seen on some forums, herewith an example of realization on a Sherman

Read the note, at the bottom of the description, about fitting this unit to Tamiya tanks. In essence, though, you will need to wire the smoker to the drive motors to get proportionality. For power, you'll need a switched supply from the battery.

There is a spare 5v terminal on the typical Tamiya MFU, but I don't think at can be used to power a smoke unit effectively.

There's also a discussion here on fitting a smoker to Tamiya tanks:

Tamiya have never made provision for a smoke feature, unlike Taigen, and Heng Long. There's no obvious method of combining a 3rd party smoker with Tamiya electronics, but there's nothing to prevent you from adding a parallel electronic circuit with which to operate (independently) a smoker unit. It can share a live feed from the same battery, but you will need a switch and possibly some resistors, depending on the smoke unit's rating. Electronic switches can be used, but that would mean using a hobby grade transmitter.
Edit: I'd forgotten this thread on using hobby grade units with Tamiya tanks

as far as a 4-channel receiver is needed for a Tamiya MFU? it seems to me quite possible to use a more efficient and programmable transmitter, I personally have a Flysky FT 6 S for my KT Tam. just that at Tamiya there are functions originally ordered by shifting the trims of the sticks, but this can be solved by making the stick adjustments with an offset, when programming the DMDs, the memory must have 90% for the elevation and 100/120% for the shooting and the machine gun ... unless I'm mistaken from my old brains!!

forgot, in the link on the topic of your previous message, there is a diagram (old forum Panzerketen) showing how to connect on the motors, personally never tried
