Hello, there are no pictures? looking for reviews on IR battle systems? that's right ? for what kind of tanks? Heng Long, Taigen, etc or Tamiya?
Sorry, follow me mistaken, for info attached his site
There are some pretty active IR battle guys over on Hobby Squawk that have experience with this topic. I'll link it here- https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-ca ... r-emittersDandyfunk3 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 9:10 pm Tanks for the input folks. The question that I am asking is who has done an upgrade? What product did you use? and was it a success. I was looking for feedback on your experience with the DGS product.
Thanks Breck
Any positive info from any source is fine with me. No one needs to be insecure about the real life fact that people look across a broad spectrum of fountains of information to get what they need.MrChef wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 9:50 pmThere are some pretty active IR battle guys over on Hobby Squawk that have experience with this topic.

Mr. Bix or other Moderators, if linking to another forum isn't cool I understand. And I'm sorry for doing so. feel free to delete it.
I have seen these tested and used a fair bit. The IR Receiver is top notch for a cheap aftermarket alternative to the Tamiya apple.Dandyfunk3 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 12:00 am Hello all, I was looking for some insight to the above IR units. Has anyone owned/installed one of these units?
Ok, something that I have read is the IR Emitter bulbs have a certain use "life" and need to be replaced accordingly. I don't know much about this and if it effects which system but maybe you or someone with experience with this could elaborate?Jarlath wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 1:49 pmI have seen these tested and used a fair bit.

The IR Emitter LED is a good quality emitter. The emitter mount is designed for those that have minimal modelling ability (aka skill to mount in the mantlet, or other semi hidden fashion).
Like some, I like the ability to use my cannon elevation/depression to my advantage and prefer the IR emitter is tied to that. But is it necessary? Not really.
That being said, the twin magnet mounting system works on metal turrets on Taigens with mounting/aligning magnets inside the tank and on the emitter housing.
I do have the DGS receiver and I use the same IR bulbs that DGS uses in his kits. They work well.
However I cannot comment on the kit's usage in the HL system as I only run Clark boards.
