I have this recoil and elevation in my far from finished FT.

Thanks, Paul, it looks interesting.
I want to design a recoil with the servos easily accessible after the turret parts are glued together.
Also, I want to do a few other mods to the turret:
Instead of gluing the turret ring gear to the base plate, I want to print it in nylon and make it detachable.
With a gun sight, I want it to be detachable too, so I can swap it with IR diode/emitter for battle (by using a 2.5mm audio jack).

It is XT60 to XT30, I bought it on Aliexpress
You can buy XT60 to XT60 as well.

Unfortunately could not find anything with both XT60 & XT30 on one board. I'm thinking of designing one at some stage with a couple of fuses and a line for the power switch.
Thank you!
