It is the full 6 channel kit, the latest one piece board with the plug in booster module. However, I had so many problems trying to get my 6 channel tx to control the loading/gun/mg sequence that I pulled channel 5 & 6 and run it on 4 channels. The latest boards auto-detect whether the cables are connected so it now operates everything off the sticks. I also obtained a left stick centering kit from Amerang and fitted that, flick up to reload, flick up to fire, it all works perfectly now.

I can program the tx, so will slow down the spin/turn when I get the chance.

I forgot to demo the aftermarket machine gun, I fitted a high intensity LED to that too. The Tiger running lights are disconnected, and the bottom half of the airsoft has been cut off so that it doesn't catch on the wiring (of which there is lots). Nice thing about the Elmod is that you don't need additional resistors, they are built into the board. It also has the IR battle system installed, but I removed the mushroom for the demo, and closed the hatch.

It's running as a Tiger 1, with King Tiger gun firing sound (I simply copied the KT gun across on the sound chip). and set up with the metal track option (Jumper 2 is pulled). The speed may be down to the Graupner 400 motors, they are a lot better than the HL ones. Nothing stops it now.  ;)

It has taken quite a while to get this Tiger how I want it, I even have a custom built Creeping Death Tiger turret on its way from the States...that I no longer have a need for..it plugs straight onto Elmod kit with extended cables, targetting laser, tracer rounds, 170 fps airsoft, recoil, corrected mantle, barrel extension, later version hatch, MG on hatch, grrr!...that's one for Ebay then!  :o

I hope I can do something with the Bulldog that is on its' way!!

Cheers
