No I agree, one of the down sides of using the car esc, but in a big tank like my E90 or my jagdtiger it shouldn't be an issue.

Your E90 is indeed a big beast, lol. I am using the TCB in a tamiya king tiger, and even when the tank is big, the inside is not... You know, most of the space is eaten by the speaker. The sound card I am using is no small neither... But things like this, help a bit:

16 channels there! Thats some kind of black magic.

Re: E90 tcb benedini test
Fantastics sounds, Tom! Probably the most authentic I've heard to date in fact, especially with the revving and labouring sounds of the engine
. A combo like that would be a perfect fit for my future Tamiya Jagdpanther project. That..or the Elmod Pro...
.. Hmm.. I'd almost decided on trying the Elmod, as it's one of the premium- if not the premium- aftermarket boards. You've just thrown a 'spaniard in the works' with that one (to quote John Lennon..)

Re: E90 tcb benedini test
If it helps the tcb board and ESC are on offer, I think you're looking at £130 from the whole lot with a benedini, certainly comes in cheaper than any of the premium boards (tk60, ibu3 elmod) by a fair margin.43rdRecceReg wrote:Fantastics sounds, Tom!

Excellent tip that Wibs, thankswibblywobbly wrote:One trick I use to get rid of the whining is to set the throttle trim.
Watch the tank from standstill, if the engine sound starts before the tank moves, then the trim is off.
Slowly push the throttle up.
Tank still not moving?
Hold the stick at the point just before where the tank starts to move.
Push the throttle trim up gradually just to the point where the tank moves.
Now drop the stick back to centre.
Push it up again and the tank should just move when the stick is touched.
You can fine tune the trim from this point.
The whine usually appears when the throttle stick is activated but the motors aren't yet receiving enough power from a board. By adjusting the stick/trim the board gets the signal to send power to the motors as soon as the stick is touched. My Clark boards and Flysky tx always have to be set up this way. Might help someone!
