Hi, I cant take too much credit for the bracket, I bought a bag of assorted brackets when our local aldi had them,
so I just cut it about drilled and filed it,
if it was a factory fitted mato item it probably would have fell off by now

regards john.

That one literally made me laugh out loud.

Still a neat job of altering it. I have an Aldi near me, they have little bags of brackets? Hmm. Maybe it's time I actually went in instead of just driving past.

But from what I hear the Aldi stores here (there are several) are strictly groceries. Are they different there in ... Is it still politically correct to say England instead of The UK? I have so much trouble keeping up with the PC Police, can ya dig it? Anyway, do you have Walmart stores over there? Sorry for going off topic. I just have a very curious nature.

I was intending to leave the factory fitted TK22 in the TD, I received a TK24 for my Sherman today and quickly
connected it up to listen to it, needless to sat the TD will be now having a TK24, huge difference.

Ludwig,
It's good to hear that the TK24 is such a big difference in sound. I was pleased with the sounds from the TK22 but it sounds ( pardon the pun ) like ordering the TK24 was the right thing to do. Did you have any issues making your MATO Radio work with the new board? ( Also, when I removed the periscope guards on my TD, they broke up exactly like you say your light guards did, i.e. "crumbled" I think that MATO has an issue with the makeup of the metal mix that they are casting these parts with ) To get inexpensive new light guards of good quality, just order a Tamiya Sherman sprue with those parts on it.
regards,
Painless

Good evening painless, the TK24 has gone into the plastic mato Sherman I am working on, I am using a flysky fs-i6
with it, I will probably buy another fs-i6 when I get the TK 24 for the TD you can pick them up for around £40.00ish
it really does rumble, mato contacted me regarding the duff fittings 3 days after my email, I have sent then some
pictures and now waiting to hear from them,

regards john.

Yes for the Clark tk24 The best radio I've used is the flysky fs--i6. Very inexpensive and simple to setup with this board

You can use pretty much any radio (pwm) Tx/Rx with the Clark board. The Clark TK22/24 has four channel inputs and these connect to the Aileron. elevation, throttle, and rudder channels on any 4+ channel radio receiver. How you connect these determines which stick movement controls which channel on your tank. The TK60 provides for up to 8 channel control I believe, for which you will need any pwm 8 channel radio and receiver.

Hello all, I have heard from mato and they say that they have posted off the parts I need to put the TD right, so that's
good news, also good news is that I am getting the tk22 upgraded to a tk24, so the tk24 m4 I received last week is
now in the TD and sounds great, I am using a flysky fs-i6 with it, also have the servo elevation working on one of
the rotary knobs on the flysky, all the drive and direction functions on now on the right stick and turret rotation
cannon/machine guns on the left, a small problem I have is when powering the TD up the elevation servo stutters
but stops when the transmitter is powered up.
