Hi Guys,
Has anyone discovered how to lessen the backwards jump that HL tanks do when the main gun is fired. I have trawled round the archive to see if there has been a post on this subject  and havent had any success.

3 oclock in the afternoon and no snow yet. We have had a couple of minor flurries....but nothings settled. I bet I wont be so happy tomorrow morning at 4.30 am when I have to leave for work if I have to chisel the stuff off the windscreen.

All the best.......Mike.

asiatam do a blocker for the recoil and darkiths battle units can be set to block it as well think the asiatam is a wire in box for about 15 euros

alot of research went into blocking it as its real pants but the only way is to break into the pic chip and re-programme it

Hi Mickyb if you install Darkiths battle system you can turn it off if you wish both of Darkiths systems remove it or you can leave it the choice is yours they also stop superspin and add mommentum .

hi mike, also fitting elmod stops it ,but its a dear way if thats all you want

....and just for good measure, if you fit the Darkith unit and wire in a muzzle flash, then you will lose the muzzle flash if you select 'de-activate recoil' on the tx, as they share the same circuit.

Elmod replaces everything and does not have a recoil function.

All the above methods sound like they stop it completely, i would rather just reduce it to a more realistic amount similar to what the Tamiya full option tanks have. I've read that fitting the 3:1 ratio gearboxes tone it down a lot. Can anyone vouch for this?

Hi Yes it slows it down to a better level the thing is tanks dont move back when they are shooting to the side.

Yes it does but it still looks really cheezy! I wish there was a way to get the HL board to reduce its backwards dance.

I did see  a post on re universe, talked about fitting relays cant find it now, tank does not move and fire at the same time but most ww2 tanks didnt anyway

How about this:

Then click on "Zubehor Elektronik" at the left.

The ARM01 and ARM02 are what you want depending on your HL control board.
