Strangely enough, my biggest gripe with HL/Darkith setup is the lack of a time delay between firing shots. So you can happily fire again and again without pause. Sure, only shots that fall within Darkiths time delay will be 'IR effective' but it really does look bad when an 88mm has the rate of fire of a 20mm autocannon! But I suppose nothing is perfect and for the price HL/Darkith combination wins hands down.

hmm mabe this is a glitch with running the darkith system with the rx-18 as i have the same system running with my rx-13 (s) (i have 2 ) and i can only fire again when the system lets me after the time delay ? hmmm

thanks,

Matt,

With the DBCRC2 , it will do this as far as I know there is nothing you can do. Maybe shoot D an email

@Mat - If the motors are running the wrong way around eg up = reverse, then simply swap the wires over +/- on either each motor, or where they connect to the board. If the turret functions are the wrong way around then most tx's allow you to reverse the control using inbuilt functionality. I had to do this on some of mine. It isn't an Elmod fault, it's just the way that tx's are configured when they leave the factory.

@All - Tamiya's are great, but £ per £, it is perfectly feasible to build a very strong, Tamiya compatible HL tank for less than £150. Simply pick up a cheap HL tank with metal gearboxes, fit decent motors. metal tracks and sprockets, and a Darkith unit. Job done. I will take a video of my Bulldog sometime and you will see what I mean (and Tamiya don't do a Stug, T-34, or a Bulldog?).

@YHR - "I think if I were EL MOD right now I would be focusing in on the sound card and CSI battle system, with the intent of gettng them to work with the RX 18.  With the new Heng Long boards, and 3:1 gear reduction I don't really see a need for the drive component of the EL MOD system anymore." ...Now that the RX18 is a reliable powerplant, there is little to be gained by using the Elmod Thinktank board, if the guys at Heng Long had any sense at all, they would be working on a decent sound system/Tamiya compatible battle system that could be produced at Chinese prices?

I would also say that if my Elmod kit worked reliably I would be over the moon with it. The theoretical performance of the latest Thinktank and the Soundblaster should put it head and shoulders over anything else, and what I have been able to achieve with the sound system impresses anyone who hears it. My only gripe is the melting esc's. It's always the same esc, and it has happened with the whole system running outside of the tank, with no load on the gearboxes, and using HL motors?
