I'll post some pics later in the build of my King Tiger so you can see what I'm talking about. The Mato speakers actually fit better then the ones from Ian in my tank, you'll see. And in the turret they fit way better and fire straight up under the loaders hatch and commanders hatch. I used double sided tape for most things but the one under the commanders cupola is done with hot glue due to the many odd angles so it can sit under the BB tray.
In the rear where you would expect to find the speaker is my TARR mark II smoker and volume knows for the amp card. Again you'll see later when I post mire pics I'll post a link here as I don't want to totally jack this thread.

Yep thats the one I supply. If ordered with the IBU2 I will set it all up and test before shipping so less hassle to people unfamilar with hobby grade radios.

The Turnigy 9x/9xr are also great radios, allow some of the IBU2 switch functions (Momentum on/off, smoker on/off, lights on/off, engine on/off) to be allocated to the switches.

Well here is my Tarr smoker with home made fluid. The thin walled tubing on the smoker kinks too easily and restricts the flow, so I will be using springs or styrene tube to keep the pipes open.

Well... in order to have a decent smoke from the Tarr I will upgrade the battery. Kaiser is correct the nimh 2000 is not enough. The Tiger weighs 23+ lbs first thing is a charger good for nimh and lipo Decent but not expensive. any recommendations? and another battery a 5000 lipo. I will research the IBU2 board. This is a cool little hobby. I spent thousands on my cars(68 Cyclone, 72 Maverick) always changing things and modifying, fabricating, and spending $$$$. Gees! the lil Tiger does not require 98 octane gas! just need elctricity ingenuity and good electronic advise. Thanks, for the help

23 pounds? Check your scale it's gotta be off. :haha: Unless it's all metal! My King Tiger is damn near all metal and tips the scale at 19 pounds while my Tiger built the same way is 17.

Which Tiger do you have?

You can make the plate that goes on the missing self centering gimbal, styrene or 3D print. Then you just need the spring, either source one or try one out of an old HL tx, or anything else that you might have lying about? A Biro spring can be bent into shape if all else fails.

Kiaser, I just use the little tubes that came with the TARR smoker and I have no problems with the hoses kinking or clogging and I have many many hours of run time on those little hoses.

I can see I REALLY need to get some new pics put up. I'll take some and post them up later today.
