What is the color the wire in the large pin/harness going to the turret that triggers the recoil? Yellow ?
Thanks! Tom

Thanks Max not really..I just want to find which wire in the large harness is it..no big deal though..the TBS can trigger recoil so need to route that one wire from the large harness.

Tom, when you say Taigen you mean the asiatam IR recoil and elevation unit, right? There isn't really a wire that runs through the 8 pin daughter board that just triggers recoil. Recoil is triggered by a microswitch in the unit. There are really only three wires from the unit to the daughter board, so check these out and see if they tell you anything. In the photo I first posted you can see the micro switch that triggers the recoil. Wait, we are talking about barrel recoil, right? Not track recoil? Specifics, Bro.

And what kind of tank it is can make a difference. If it's a taigen T-34 with slip ring I think the green wire is the one you want. Again, it also matters if you mean barrel recoil or track recoil. Two different animals, Bro.

Those are some great resources, Max. I'll be trying to figure out how to wire up my T-34 soon, so these will be a massive help.
Thanks for sharing!

No problem, there's more where those came from if needed.
