Hi,
Here's the wiring diagram for HL/Taigen IR /Recoil version of the Taigen turret..for you to compare with the Mato wiring. Bear in mind that Taigen have revised their electronics recently to V2. It's a much improved system allowing hobby grade Transmitters to be used for the first time, and offering much better sound effects.

Here's Erik from Taigen tanks extolling the virtues of the new V2 electronics setup:
Do check out his other videos on Youtube for supporting info.
I have the turret with airsoft barrel recoil, and BB. If it flashed too, that would be about perfect, but it doesn't. That said, it's a massive improvement on BB with no recoil.

Another option would be to ditch the Mato upper hull and turret and go for the complete Taigen unit
http://www.taigentanks.com/taigen-parts ... /tag120062. That way, most of the wiring will already be in place...but you'll still have to connect it to Mato's MFU (Multi Function Unit controller)
