Interesting problem. In theory you want your smoker to be driven off the motors as the motors gets more juice, so will your smoker. You should connect the smoker to the motors directly and leave your dragon as is since you don't want the tank hull recoil in the first place and you certainly don't want the smoker to puff out extra smoke during the recoil so letting the dragon kill the power to the motors is what you want.
