I realise there was a recent thread on this, but it kind of stalled - please forgive me.
I have a Taigen recoil turret that I want to install on current HL spec rx18 dual sound Tiger 1. My question is, is this possible. I know it's not plug n play and I'm happy to rewire, just not sure how. Has anyone managed to get it working?
Any wiring diagrams to show solution?
I think this may have been a bad buy on my part!
If it's simply not possible, is there a recoil barrel that will work on HL?
My HL turret has the usual 8 pin connector next to 3x2 pin and 1x3 pin connector
Thanks.

I got this system working in my F05 Tiger, but in short, all the H/L electronics go in the bin.
I bought the Taigen system, plus the flash & recoil micro switch system, plus the correct Taigen hull plug (with the 8 wire cable socket_ and of course the actual 8 wire cable to match.
A Taigen power switch with earth socket ( red though!!) so the earth cable from the turret recoil/elevation can ground properly.
I will look back in my F05 build and see if its explained correctly, but you will need all the Taigen electrics.

Changing electronics is what I feared would be necessary. Maybe clutching at straws but was hoping someone had cracked it

For me,Taigen or Heng Long,it's the same but can not understand the probleme?

The problem is that the taigen turret appears not to be compatible with Heng Long electronics. I was hoping there would be a way to get it to work without having to invest in taigen electronics and a new tx.

Are you talking BB gun with recoil?

Yes, bb with recoil

Take a look at this.

Thanks for this. It's as close as I have seen but for an older version of hl electronics. I'm going to have a go at matching it but mine is the dual sound version that this suggests it won't work with. Always considered I was alright with electronics but this is blowing my mind

Take a look at this. Eric states at the end that the duel sound takes a bit of extra wiring. Which one would think suggests it can be done
