RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi All,
I'm thinking of going for an ibu unit but they are absolutely new to me. So I need as much information as possible about witch one to buy and how to fit and use the above. Radio is no problem I have a 7.ch set and looking at getting the turngy 9xp pro. So info on the radio would be of great help as well. This well be for my Hooben Elefant that l'm in the process of building.Thanks in advance to all. Brian...

Best talk to scalawag

Or Ian (Forgebear) seeing how he sells them.

They're both very good units, I have both.

Don't really need all the technical bumf.... I know there are a few different models out there Clark being one of them also Elmod. So I ready need know what one to go for plus easy set up and the like.Brian...

IBU3 all the way. Only kidding a quick summary

IBU2 Base. The entry level model great for heng long & taigen tanks using the standard mechanical devices (recoil, elevation)
IBU2 Pro. Base with extra features including servo output for elevation and traverse, so suitable for the Elefant (I believe uses servos)
IBU3. Top of the product line. Everything the IBU2 Pro does plus more, improved drive train, 15w amp as standard (so needs a decent speaker)

Also to change sounds and setting on IBU2 is via microSD card. IBU3 requires plugging into a PC computer for making changes, most people like this as can make changes and test at same time but a few people have complained struggle with the PC interface side of it.

Probably a load of others but without sounding like I'm rewriting the spec/feature sheet; the above are comments I hear back from users.

Hi lan.
So by the the looks of it the IBU2 pro is the one. Now the question how much will that cost me for the complete package?. And do you recommend a particular radio system?. Brian...

If you go with the ibu pro Brian I have 3 of them and set up is real easy,plus I'm under an hour away if you do have a set up problem.
