5.3 MFU

A quick question- is it possible to dial down the recoil? I have a Panzer III that leaps like a frightened rabbit when the main armament fires!!
Thank you!

Ok John, understood, I can't adjust the recoil! My option would be to change an HL 6.0 but of course I'd have a lot of plugs to rewire! Mako? Must enquire about that,
Thanks

Mako unit.

You do the reading and the ordering if you want it, I will help get it to you.
Other than one of these, you are stuck with the track recoil without a new style of board.

Thank you Herman. I had a look last night for Mako and saw something that cost around $60. If thats it then its cheaper to fit a more recent HL MFU! You would think that there would be a wire you could cut that sends the recoil signal, but if there was then it would have been the stock answer!!

Unfortunately Jofaur86 thats all to do with the RX-18 MFU - thank God I don't have that!! The 5.3 is okay apart from poor engine sound and athletic recoil! The easy answer would be a 6.0 MFU!
