He is using the Clark system and not the IBU3.Unfortunately, they are not of the Challenger however. Thought this might get you in the right direction. I think he is known by maxmekker on this board.

Hello 'all'

I use the DKLM Gearbox in several of my tanks ( and will also soon be stocking a few of them for shipping from Norway )

I use both the Clark TK 24 - TK 60 AND IBU 3 In my tanks , I have several of the IBU 3 Boards

Like here ( both IBU and Clark tested )



and here (IBU3)



the gearbox along With a ibu ore Clark will give you a kick ass drive experience

It's best tank I have super realistic. Only thing I have done is swapped out the DKLM 550 motor with a 55turn 540 motor (slower). Second video had original motor but was turned power down to 60% and I found too fast, so changed it and now just right.

Also go for the DKLM metal recoil and elevation unit.

Ian.

Your post has brought a question Ian. When you set an IBU2 for 60% power, does it also have an effect on the torque. I know most motors have X torque at X RPM so I would assume it would be affected?

Yes. Torque also reduced by what amount I don't know. But consider the DKLM gearboxes are totally different to the normal twin gearboxes, hard to explain until you drive side by side.

Twin motor driving straight both motors working, turning one motor working the other not therefore 100% power for driving straight 50% for turning.

DKLM one motor driving and one motor steering. Therefore driving 50% turning upto 100% in other words you get more power for turns compared to LESS for twin gearboxes.

Also consider in the videos the tank weighs about 8.5kg and has metal and rubber pad tracks so lots of grip on the ground yet turns like a plastic tank on a smooth surface.

I can always follow customers instruction to fill the cost on shipping doc. Mostly say USD90 ~ 99.
This the the way customer teach me. they know the tricks to lesser affect by custom. LOL

Hi I have driven Ians Tank , at a meeting it is very easy to drive much more control than a Tamiya , no twitching when you make small changes to direction very smooth loads of power . Just wish I had the money to by a lower .
