Heng Long M26 Pershing Turret and Electronics Upgrade
Hey guys! I'm back!
Due to the loss of a friend, moving, and having another kid I haven't had time for RC. But, now I have time again!
Here's what's currently on the bench.
https://youtube.com/shorts/om2sjEZ38H4?feature=share
It's been about 7 years, so here's my original build thread.
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17993&p=155459#p155459
The new upgrades on the list is a new Taigen MFU to replace the dual RX-18 setup it currently has.
And...
A recoiling airsoft turret!
Stay tuned!

Welcome back! I remember your avatar, beating its brains out. I look forward to seeing your project with the recoiling airsoft. And it appears you got this to work with the Taigen MFU (V3 I would guess, with the sound module). Hmm...

Yeah, it is the V3. But, I bought it before they had anything other than the Sherman engine sounds.Herr Dr. Professor wrote:Welcome back! I remember your avatar, beating its brains out.

I'm working on editing part 1 of the build video. Mostly teardown of the turret I was making. I was building a recoiling 90mm IR turret for my M4, but I'm now converting it to airsoft recoil for the M26.
Here's the playlist of videos of the M26 running. These are from stock, up to full metal upgrades.

Life got in the way a bit, but I've got the turret working and assembled! Just need to paint, and get it on the tank.

Re: Heng Long M26 Pershing Turret and Electronics Upgrade
Seems to be a bit of a wiring issue now. Oh well, troubleshooting is part of the fun!

She's done! (As much as these get anyway)
Man, it feels good to get a project done!
