Hi all just started to convert a Tamiya king tiger into a Jagdtiger using a Tamiya king tiger hull and torro upper hull. I was wondering if it is possible to fit a smoke unit to Tamiya electronics and if so what one should I get

Hello,
No Tamiya modules,are not intended for a fumigène
it is certainly possible to install it ?

Hi, If you go to----
www.rctankelectronics.com
The Tarr Mk 3 and 4 Pro fully proportional smokers work with Heng Long, Taigen, Torro and TAMIYA !
On the Tarr smoker page is all the wiring information including a diagram to connect the smoker to a TAMIYA Tank.

At the bottom of the page:
Connection of wires for proportional units
Instructions (based on Heng Long installation)
1) Plug the 2 pin plug into the MFU smoke output port
2) First pair of red/black cables connects to one motor (red to red, black to black)
3) Second pair of red/black cables connects to other motor (red to red, black to black)
For tank electronics without switched smoker output (Tamiya). Step 1 above, need to remove the 2 pin plug and connect to the battery supply via a switch (not included)

I have to update my smoke generators entry.
Here I wrote why I would not get one of those Tarr smoke generators.
https://radindustries.wordpress.com/201 ... erators-2/
And what do I want to update in that entry?
The smoke fluid. I found a mixture of glycerine and destilled water works very good too, without any nasty and toxic smell.
The smoke machines I did with my friend Daryl Turner.
And also the concern here, how to fit it when using Tamiya electronics or any other electronics in the world.
What I did back in the day when I used Tamiya electronics is to wire a cheap 1 euro free shipping ESC. It is feeded from the battery, and is trotthle responsive, so the faster the tank drives, the more the smoke you have. Of course it requires a the use of a radio with more than 4 channels, and a little bit of radio programming, so you can have some smoke when the tank is starting and/or iddling too. And also you can switch it on and off from the radio, so you wont overheat it, which is very important.
