i have to agree with ex pat' , combining both HL and elmod, not a good idea, i went the whole hog all elmod, for me the best thing i have done for my tank, with all elmod matt, you will not need a fan in the tank for cooling, my tiger weighs nearly 12lbs, and since the elmod conversion i have never had a problem, the thermal cutout hasnt even cut in,
if you want a cheap repair to your hl board take a look here http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com/wb ... 96c&page=1 its the mod' what nigel der englander thought up, its cheap and easy to do, aparantly, i got nigel to do this for katies p3 she's getting at xmas, so i know shes got a good runner out of the box, i think when nigel resigns up on here(his account got wiped when the site went down)he was going to do a how to on this matter. when you click on the link it is halfway down the page

hey guys thanks for the responses, trouble is before i fitted the el-mod i ran the tank around and it all worked fine, so unless a peice of solder has melted and dribled across i dont know whats going wrong :(

cheers,

you will need a elmod thinktank booster prop chip m , and a thinktank tls chip for 4 channel set up or the thinktank tls c4 chip for the 6 channel set up , mind you you need a compatible tx for the 6 channel version , futaba c7, hitec eclipse 7  are compatable and i think the hitec lazer 6 is, you can use any 4  channel tx for the 4 channel set up
all the best ,ICE
oh yes if you go for theprop 6 you will also need a prop 6 wire set

matt if you go full prop' you will need a booster, tls(you got that)and for sound, a blaster, and a radio set, personally i would go for a futaba, and like ex pat' said a csi for battling, but you dont need it for the tank to work, if your not sure about all this, then email thomas at elmod, he will put you right

the CSI is el-mods version of a battle system, compatible with the DBC / DBU and the tamiya!

Tony (tiger205) i know what i need now thanks, i will go futaba as i allready have one of those, so will be easier for me to use! and i have the booster, bought a spare from Norse!
