Swapping from Airsoft to IR on Taigen Tiger

Post by BamaCoop »

I am swapping from the airsoft to an IR recoil upper. I have read in other threads and I believe this red wire with what looks to be a clamp on it, is the ground so the barrel will return to the fire position. Love IMEX but they need to work on better directions for us newbies. Anyone have a suggestion as to where the best place to ground would be? I do want to be able to swap turrets ever so often. Thanks in advance.

I'm about to do much the same but I'm starting with an older Henglong T34. So far I've successfully sealed the electronics to Taigen v3 but the IR components and recoil unit only arrived from Forgebear yesterday so no further forward yet - I'll watch this space!

One tip, if you plan to be able to swap tops every now and again, colour code your cable plugs and sockets with paint pens plus photograph cable runs. Makes life easier later.
