Just looked again Chris, and the right hand side of some of the pics are missing including the text, is that just me ? Could you pm me the text "how to" details.

Hi Alan
The Tamiya TBU has only one IR sensor. An inverted pyramid-shaped mirror inside the TBU (just behind the fins) reflects the beam onto the single IR sensor. So you need to replace the Tamiya sensor with 4 other ones (one for each facing direction). You could just use the Tamiya sensor and solder on another 3 but the sensitivity of the other ones is bound to be different and so it is best to use one particular type of IR receiver sensor for all 4.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Chris

Hi Alan
Don't know what's going on there. Looks fine at my end. Maybe you need to tweak your screen settings on RC-Tankwarfare. I'll see if I can capture the thread at my end and send you the topic as a zip file. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the explanation Chris, if you could send me the zip file that would be great
