Don't think you can fit servo recoil unless you have a control board like the CLARK or similar. If you do it is plug and play.

If you are using RX-18 the Asiatam recoil is a good option. It is much more realistic and the timing of the flash is actually correct. It is a little tricky to put on, depends on which barrel you have.

Yep the MAKO2 doesn't get much praise but offers a lot of features.

Hey Ray... HENG LONG does sell a recoil that will plug into your Rx 18.... the STUG comes with it.. and a few of their other IR models I'm going to try to put one in my KV-2 once I have all the internal alignments are adjusted and set ...just thought I'd throw that in there as the unit itself is about 12.00 US with shipping...in the UK .. I think forgebear has them for about the same

LOL ...oh...you wanted to soften the sound :haha: ...if you're brave... open the unit and put an "o" ring on the part that returns it forward it'll dampen the impact of the plastic hitting plastic :D

Really though I barely notice it on my Stug...the recoil in the tracks... engine sound ..etc drown it out ...another option..is not standing so close lol (just kidding :haha: )
