OK, fellas, this is my Baby, my number one tank. This was the first tank I bought that actually worked and didn't have to be sent back. I got it at my local hobby shop for $200, an all plastic Imex/Taigen Tiger One Early (TAG12010). Since then the upgrades have been endless, and a large number of the mods I've done have started right here. I love this tank and with the Asp it's a real beast. I know I'm biased, but I really think this might be the very best Imex airsoft tank on the entire planet! Yeah, no ego here!
I'll be posting many, many more videos of this tank, in all different places, and I've even got a special CD I made up that shows the whole process start to finish and even has a photo of the tank on the disc. I call it, "A Tiger's Tale".
More to come!

This board is really interesting! I was going too get an IBU2 pro but may wait now until the IBU3 comes out and I can compare with the ASP, but it looks really good! No challenger II or leopard 2A6 sound sets yet though

Hi Maxx, love your S33!. That ASP board really intrigues me. I have one clark and 4 ibu2 pro boards. the ibu so far is my favorite but I may have to give one of those ASP boards a try. I have a panther f preordered from Dominique and me thinks that would be a good tank to try the ASP out on. In your video, you were saying that the transmitter you are using was modded by the guy you got the board from? I assume you can buy the ASP as a package deal with the transmitter then? Is that transmitter a good quality? I am not a fan of hobby king but if the radio is decent I may try it out. Is that board like the ibu where you can change the sound sets for any given tank?. How about the programming? I hope its not like the clark boards where you need a tv remote to do anything. I like how the ibu programs, its simple and it works. Sorry about all the questions I just want all the info I can get!
Hey, thanks for the kind words, Guys. Highlander, the Sturm just got metal tracks and sprockets and a preview of some of my ideas for a Jagdsturmtiger. That's gonna be a very fun project. If you look really close you can see the sturm has the wrong tracks. They should be late tracks with the ice cleats.
deathrawt, that's too many answers to type, but if you give me a minute I'll make a video and show you the 9X and the 9XR Pro and tell you about Kevin and RCTA. Like I said in the video, I also have IBU2s and they work well with the Asp. Check this out. The S33 is in the background there and the gray Tiger is my 332, an Imex full metal on the IBU2 with a Hobby King 6 channel. The S33 provides the voice and music, then you hear the IBU fire up and the 332 takes off.

Chase, that will be the next step if I can't get it working. It means pretty much a major rewire of the turret so I'm trying to avoid it. Lazy.
OK, here's a video about my Turnigy radios and the guy that set up the Asp for me. Tankbear can back me up on Kevin being one seriously talented Dude when it comes to RC Tanks. He did a great package for me but I've been dealing with Kevin for a couple of years now and he's always done his best to make sure I'm a happy customer. His is pretty much still a one man show so you have to display a little patience sometimes, but so far I'm very glad that I met Kevin and I'm completely happy with all the business we've done. I have a great deal of customer loyalty when it comes to RCTA, but it's been well earned, just like Ian has always been great and earned every bit of the praise I give him and the IBU. For me it's a little difficult because I really like both boards (IBU and Asp) and the guys that sell them, even though they are competitors. But they've both been very cool about the fact that I use both and that's been just great. I'm looking forward to spending money way beyond my means with both of them for a very long time to come.

Thanks for the video Max, It was most helpful. I do think I will try an asp in the near future, I had no idea that it was two circuit boards stacked on each other. It might be a tight fit in a pz iii or iv but it should fit no problems in a panther
