My First Tamiya!

The turret is a resin aftermarket job, as is the rear deck, front trans cover and exhaust deflector. I have some side trans covers as well, but they don't go over the bearings

WOW, thats a lot of work your doing on your Sherman, i did'nt know they even sold half the parts your fitting i do know that there is very little room in that turret for anything, so well done on fitting a recoil unit, i'll be watching with interest

Working on the paint job while I figure out the recoil arrangements - only another 3 coats to go

WOW!great work

Well done on the recoil mod? Hows it coming along?

I was wondering, can you plug recoil into the Sherman's DMD? Does it work straight off?

Cheers,

There is no recoil output on the sherman MFU, I'm using the Pershing unit.

[grim_marmazet]

I figured, are you using both the DMD and MFU from the Pershing? Which number ones do you have.

The Pershing one has the weird start up sequence doesn't it? I ask because I only have digital trims on my Tx which would make it hard to start.

DMD T-05 from the sherman, MF-03 from the Pershing, I'm told Fleshy has done this before...

I'm going to follow Yellowshakers procedure to set it up with a spektrum:

Thanks for the tip! I do something similar on my Tiger with a Futaba 6EX, but I just use the dual rates switch to flip the stick movement to 125% its normal. That should help.

I'm looking forward to seeing your recoil mod!

Cheers,
