Both Dave and Dom carry them in their stock.
I don't recall seeing a daughterboard in my V6.0 Leopard, Shaun
I thought it might be lurking in the Turret, instead of the upper hull; mais non.
If you look at these pics, all the connectors go directly from the MFU to the
relevant components, and not via a DB:

I'm guessing it's the same with other V6.0 models.
Hence, Wayne's surprise, and Gen J's query.

I did something I have been warning others against all my military life, That is ---"Don't assume Check", Because the Heng Long V5.0 was rewired complete with an upgraded daughter board I assumed the V6.0 had been similarly modified, this is even more stupid when you realise that all I had to do was open my brand new V6.0 equipped Heng Long Tiger1 and have a look DOHHH
Sorry.

Sorry.
Being right 99% of the time can't be bad, old chap
I wish I had a rating like that.
As for upgrading, it would seem that all components wired through the old daughterboard would have to be de-soldered, and fitted with JSTs.

Regarding hl v6 against a Tamiya system. The cheap option is to fit a mako board. They do one specifically for the new hl v6 board. I sent for one from rc tank Australia. £27 and took about 10 days to arrive. The mako board adds servo recoil. Ability to add
Xenon flash plus a reload time between firing. Don't think it slows the tank down though after a hit

Thanks for the info Percy, I'm sure it will be useful to budget battlers on the Forum. I don't battle, and so have have no need for IR as such, but I was just trying to establish what difficulties one might encounter trying to control a Tamiya tank (with all the usual bits- barring MF and DMD units) with the HL 6.0/6.1 setup.
