So, thanks to Stian and his chocolate bars, I have a TK60 and a flyski radio and receiver.
The thing is, I cannot for the life of me figure out what wires go where, even with the diagram for the distinct lack of 3 pin connectors and wires that go into channels 1 through 8. The tank I'm trying to upgrade is the Heng Long Leopard 2A6. Most of the connections are the larger, two pin connections, but the instructions are talking about 3 pin connections which I don't seem to have. I've looked all over for a tutorial and come up with nothing.
There's a set of wires that came with it, with a 10A fuse, but the thing is so alien to me that I don't know where to start.

Anyone know of a step by step tutorial to installing this correctly?
I do have other questions but, that can wait for now, I'm just looking to finish the hull first before I move to the turret. I'll put some pictures up later.

I'm supposed to be asleep but this is quite literally keeping me up. This hasn't happened in a while.

Oh, and Stian; if you're reading this - I want more chocolate.

What now, would you like me to beg?

So, lets see now, if we can get the basics done, before we go on with the heavier stuff after opening up and taking / unplugging the stock board make a small jumper from one of the spare wires I included , and plug into SW port then connect the basic to get it up and running , ref to the included layout sheet , and my photo here motor plug
battery
speaker
receiver wires

charge battery and fire it up ( sorry for poor video)

Later , we will rewire the airsoft setup, and after that, take a look at adding the servo recoil kit to the tank

I have no 3 pin wires. Where did those come from (Ch 1-8)?

Moving along to the turret .

When opening it , to me , it seems to have the 'latest' connection setup ( for airsoft) , and unlike the challenger , the wires to the elevation motor/recoil motor are now seperated.

So in reality , one only need to connect the 8pin wire to the TK board( and just dobble check with diagram once more ) and set TK board in 'airsoft' modus with the sony remote , plug recoil sitch wire into CN3 ( according to schematic) and ready .

My layout with the sbus unit.

I need to know where these red wires go from the receiver go.
I also see a volume control wire on CN4, something I don't seem to have.

Okay, so the existing wire according to the diagram needs a 10A fuse (in picture). How do you go about attaching it?

Got to work on the turret. Connected the airsoft gun to the board. Seems okay.
Though, I need to remove the airsoft unit to replace it with the one you gave to me. The wires need to go for that.

Do you have any advice?
