Davy Hi, Go to-
http://www.rctankelectronics.com
Go to the STORE and click on TPA DEAL,
£45 will get you Two potentiometers (Volume Controls,) Two Visatron FRS7 Speakers and the TPA Card that fits onto the pins on your IBU" PRO.
The Volume controls and the speakers have their own plugs and plug into their respective sockets on the TPA Card
I assure you it transforms your Tank. :thumbup:

I use the Viper, from RCTA. Volume control from the radio, completely plug and play. Unplug the stock volume switch from the IBU, plug in the viper, plug the other end of the Viper into a channel on the RX that has a pot, that's it. I have a viper in every single one of my tanks that has a hobby grade board like the IBU or the TK22 (except for the Asp units, those have built in volume control from the TX). I also have the TPA connected to the IBU2 in my Jagdtiger, but I only use one viper unit for that, to control engine sounds. To change volume on the other sounds. like MG and main gun, I have to open the hatch on the tank and use the stock volume knob, but I leave those up all the way anyhow. I just like being able to turn down the sound so I can hear what the rest of the tank is doing, ya know? If you do get a TPA and want control of both channels from the TX you need two vipers and two open channels that can be assigned to a pot.

You need a volume potentiometer, I guess your tank is a new heng long version which has it on the transmitter. Hence need a volume pot. Or the viper can control it from a radio spare channel but I don't know if you will have a spare channel with your combination.

Davy, if you're in the US I can mail you a stock HL volume pot-knob-thingie. No charge. I don't know about outside the US, though. I have padded envelopes that mail like letters over here, but i don't know if i'd have to satisfy customs because of the switch, or what.
