I have a Mato Metal Tiger Tank. It came with a Clark Board. How do I tell what model it is? I attached a picture for reference. It has 1938 on the board.

I saw a few youtube video of Henglong tanks that has muzzle smoke. Can someone give me some advise on how to set that up? what parts do I need. I tried searching but all didn't find much.

The muzzle smoke feature would require you to replace your Clark board with a V.6.3s (?) iteration of Heng Long's new Multi Function Unit/ control board, as far as I know. :problem:
You would also need the latest version of their smoke unit, together with revised 'pipework'. These are not easily obtainable at present. :think:

I'm pretty certain the Heng Long board is 6.0s, an upgrade from the 5.3.

Will be interested to see if muzzle smoke can be incorporated - looking at the board diagram I too think it will have to be a redesigned smoke unit

That would probably be the V6.1s board (equivalent to Haya 6.3). There's more info on the board types, and revised smoker, to be found in this thread :wave: :
