I've seen this done in youtube clips. Surely I could figure out how to make a set-up that does this but why do it solo when I've got all of you!
Anyone done this to their tank? The effect is super cool and I feel like it adds a lot. Let's see your methods...

Here you go Zuul....unfortunately TorpedoChief didn't go into detail as there wasn't too many responses...but if you PM him or post a response he might come in and give more instructions

The idea is not new...It was pioneered by Torpedochief in 2011...
I ran with it for a while and obtained some interesting results using the Asiatam recoil system...

I haven't given up on the project; I have a new design in mind using servo recoil...
It's part of my winter project...

Wow, that PZIV's smoke effect is excellent! Going to follow the trail of threads. My thanks to both of you!
(Also doing servo recoil)
