It'll run, however you won't be able to use the recoil, elevation or traverse as they're on servos

Yeah it should drive the tracks okay, although on the one I had it had servo’s for recoil, elevation and traverse so the taigen cannot control them. But since the movement is only small you might be able to live with the gun been static?

Yes, you'd need a new control board, Clark, ibu etc

Good morning, Wadsworthj,
I have the same, long anticipated kit and have put thought into how to run it. I decided to go with an IBU variant once the build is started since I believe that it offers greater ease of use and expanded sound file access over the ARC\Hooben MFU. Yes, it's money but if you really want that Beast to come alive, it's money well spent. + Tankbear, etc... ;o)
regards,
Painless
...Here for the Dawn...

Hi All.
I have two tanks up for sale in order to fund this monster. wish me luck.
I will look into ibu, but I am not very tech minded , so I am looking for the easiest set up solution, a
lot of checking up to do at the moment, but it will work out in the long run.
Cheers Wads.
