It's probably a bit late now, but Dominique at RcTank.de sells Elmod boards.

Hi Richard, Happy New Year,
I did look at Dom's site but after adding Postage it works out more expensive than Thomas's INCLUDING the £9 Bank Transfer charge Shaun.

That's interesting. When I checked, some time ago, it was the other way round, and then I recall that you could use PayPal. Times change of course.

Happy New Year to you too, Shaun.

No paypal or credit cards? Sorry that's a HUGE red flag IMHO! Gives you nothing to fall back on to protect you as a buyer. Thanks but no thanks, PASS!

Often German sellers don't advertise the fact they use PayPal but will do it and charge the fee to the buyer. It's worth asking

Elmod's current terms and conditions do actually make reference to Paypal.

Dave as ever treated me to his speedy and first class service as my M16 arrived today in pristine condition,
Now all I have to do is wait for the lightening fast German Postal Service to deliver my "Elmod" Board,
I can happily go back to Hospital next week safe in the knowledge it wont come that quickly.
Shaun.

glad you got it ok thanks dave

The "ELMOD" Board for my M16 arrived today in its Aluminium box
I shall not be fitting it for some weeks as I am up to my armpits in different builds but I do have a few questions,
Is the fitted speaker ok with the "ELMOD" board which needs 8 ohms? And if not would one of the 1/2 dozen Heng Long/Taigen speakers Sans plastic box which are in my spare parts tins be a viable substitute?
I took note of Richards comment about the accessibility of the receiver and that means instead of using a TURNIGY Receiver and my Turnigy 9X I shall instead use a receiver from my Spectrum Dx6i as the cables plug into the end of those types of receiver instead of the side.
The battery should be a 9.6 Volt but I notice that someone is getting good service from a 7.4, does anyone have more information?
I found out that a decent rechargeable battery pack can fit if you are prepared to Gut the battery box of the springs and the central divider.
What would be the best 9.6/7.4 rechargeable battery pack.
I wait with baited breath for the pages of helpful suggestions.
Shaun.

I have now got a pair of Maplin 8 OhM 2 watt speakers I plan to fit one inside each of the two Hollow saddle fuel tanks of my M16,
They are an easy fit and I just need to cut out the front of each one and cover with a thin cloth in olive drab,
I hope the "Elmod" board can take both speakers, and if anyone has already been down this path is there anything I should know?
Shaun.
