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 :crazy: 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 :thumbup:

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,
Rik

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

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.

Cheers,
Rik

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! :D
