I don't spin my turrets round and round but I simply use a knife to cut some extra teeth were the wee tab is.

Is the wiring a complex thing or puting the right wires in the right control board more complex?

I see that you got useful help already. Changing out from one "ready made" electronic board, etc., is often quite easy. Even I can do it. Before you make a purchase, you can check here to make sure what you want to buy is compatible. If so, the change will be easy.

Well, this is what I plan to buy:

And the kit is this:

It says it´s compatible with 7.0 tanks.

Heng Long Panzer.de is Heng Longs main German outlet so you may be confidant that what they are selling is Pukka!
Do be aware that since Brexit most German dealers are not accepting purchases from the UK worth less than Euro 160.
I have been buying from Heng Long.DE for many years without any problems :thumbup:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I am from Portugal, fortunately. Just waiting for my tax refund to fund this.

What is "Pukka"?
