The question as in title. Does rx-14 board has better sound than rx-18? I've red something about it on other forums. I've watched some films on youtube and i think ist right. Older tanks with HL rx-14 sound better, than mine.

From what I understand the drive control isn't as good on the rx14.

If you have space I would suggest putting both in your tank the rx18 to do all the controls and he rx14 for the sounds.

Not at all.

You need to make the 3 wire from receiver to RX18 into a Y cable so goes from receiver to both RX14 & RX 18, same with the power lead. Then plug volume and speaker into RX14 and that's it.

The controller send signal to the receiver which sends to both 14 & 18 the 14 makes the noises and the 18 does the driving.

I normally solder them on to the existing leads.

If you’ve got the bits already it worth it, if you haven’t probably not as although the RX14 does sound better it isn’t that brilliant.

I don’t have any pictures of the Y cable made sorry.
