Hello all, just doing some work on the electronics in my Taigen tiger 1, basically I have a Clark tk22 board and a benedini tbs mini, I'm getting my head around the wiring slowly but the Clark website said you need the motors that have the yellow noise filtering capacitors on them rather than the brown regular capacitors, and I have the later type, I'm happy to remove and solder the noise filtering capacitors but where do I get them from and what spec are they?

Also on another note the Clark board works fine but I can't get any sound from the benedini board (I have it on a seperate speaker) it gives a click when it's powered up like it should but no sounds! It's got the latest firm wear and it's got the tiger sounds loaded on it?!

Any help would be much appreciated

I wouldn't bother with changing the capacitors unless you are getting issues with noise.

The Benedini, Is it getting the signal from the radio receiver? I'm guessing if the benedini is for the engine sounds it needs a servo Y lead on the throttle channel.

Hey tankbear, thanks for the reply, I am getting a little whining through the speakers which I'm hoping the capacitors will cure, you are right I'm using the benedini module for engine sounds and the y-lead is in Chanel 2 and prop 2 of the benedini

Anyone have any ideas on where to get these capacitors? I really don't want to buy new motors and gearboxes on the off chance it may cure the problem, any help would be much appreciated

Here is how I have my Clark ( kv) + tbs mini unit .
and on my Stock HL motor + on the promax black I have these caps

I will get this little beep when powering on, and it has a slight 'white noise' but nothing like my high pitched sound in the tamiya dmd unit, but some 'hizz' can be heard before Engine start is . Loud..

Have you DL the flash program for the tbs ?, have you play'd With the settings ? I managed to enter a few settings and then flashing the unit so for a few day's now it would play any sound I loaded into it, but found out what I had done and got it up and running again.

Here is a video I did last week on all the ww2 sounds for the tbs

And here is my own panther sound set I made last weekend. Still needs a few tweaks though

Thank you for the help it is much appreciated! One question, I know you can run one speaker by running the tbs through the Clarks amplifier, how do you do this?

for getting the Clark sounds ,on canon, turret and canon movement, just plug a hl speaker to the speaker out on Clark board( i think) I'm awaiting a amp from Dan to try out for the speaker I have. Since it is the viaston fr7 4 ohm the tbs mini is getting hotter tha hell.
