1/16-15 BANDAI Hummel to Nashorn conversion

[xrad]

I have decided to add recoil to the 88. it will be a servo system hooked up to HL rx18.

Hi Xrad
At work I work with solenoids i wonder if recoil can be done with a low power solenoid it would snap back fast then have a spring to slowly push plunger forward .
And can it be run from a Tamiya MF unit or a HL rx-18 .
Ill have to think about this cause it could slide the whole gun breach and all .

I would be surprised if you could find a solenoid that draws a low enough current AND which has enough travel to make the system work directly from the HL board. You may have to run a seperate relay from the power supply to operate it.

Look at what this guy did with the Hummel back in 2005 and 2006

nice conversion, but after all that work, he left the 120mm breech??

I found a nice unit for servo reversing (under products, scroll down to bottom)

Ya thats Nicks web site I forgot about his servo recoil board that's a good ideal to use Xrad .

Thanks

That's right. Nick seems like a good guy. Fast email replies. I ordered 3 boards.

[xrad]

WOW, Nick sent the items out and they were here in 2 days!!

VERY nice construction. the part numbers have been wiped so you can't easily copy the design, but for the price, no need to copy it.

instructions on his web site.
