Tell me about it!

I'm waiting for my yearly bonus to buy second Beier board

Or Jelly of the Month Club. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Bonus, Bona, Bonum -- ain't gonna getum! Years ago as I was struggling to get a reasonably stable job in academia, I made so little money that after taxes there was a negative balance! And so I received a paycheck with -0.57 balance (i.e. negative zero US$, 57 US Cents). I wish I had framed it and kept it.

Also planning on installing a SFR-1-D in a MATO king tiger. Do you have the IR version? If so would you mind posting a picture of your wiring? Since I have a SFR-1-HL in my MATO sherman thought about trying a TK80 in the KT, but love beier.

I don't have the IR version. I received the board, but I find it pretty difficult to configure. I don't speak or read German and even though I have the English instructions, a lot of the words on the software itself are still in German. It looks like this board is mostly configurable for sound and lighting and not so much for the motion aspect like the Elmod boards are. I can really dial in the parameters on the Elmod board for gear shift changes, recoil and such to get realistic motion, but I'm having a hard time getting the same performance on the motion side with the Beier.

I get it. When I first programmed my tamiya truck with the beier SFR -3 board it was pretty intimidating and confusing. You just need to really experiment with the settings . As far as momentum settings under the configuration tab - engine sounds (i think?) You can dial in the momentum and characteristics of the tank. I set my sherman to light and it feels very realistic. But then again I have no experience with the IBU units. Just give it a try and read through the manual. I'm constantly emailing or messaging beier through Facebook and they have been amazing with helping me understand things better. Reach out to them if any questions. I only speak English btw.

Another cool thing about Beier is that they keep updating features on the sfr.
