Jib mentioned something to me about elmod and opening a topic about it when i had the money for it so here i am, Herman Bix convinced me out of buying a Mato tank and i have money to mess around with getting a elmod system for my torro king tiger BB i wish for the elmod system howver to have capability for:
Engine smoke
Cannon smoke
Canno recoil
Cannon flash
Turret traverse
Mg turret sound/light

(In general i want it to have all the capabilities if i was to buy the IR version of the torro king tiger)

If you have the BB version, you will still have to change the gun's recoil mechanisms, a new board alone will not be enough.

And a degree in computers to set the thing up & keep it going if things go wrong.............

I reinforce Mr Kaczors words, that KT of yours has no recoil at all & a board alone will not fix that.
A device like a RichJohnson recoil might go in, but as its a metal turret I anticipate some fitting prowess to get it(or a similar item) to work.

The simplest, although expensive, option will be to replace the turret with a version with recoil. I had an Elmod once and connected the Taigen with the mechanical recoil without any problems. But I don't know about the barrel smoke. Among my modeling friends, no one has tanks with BB - it's supposedly a "fun" option for children, but at the same time dangerous for them ;) And even if someone buys such an option (because it is often the only one available or the cheapest), they convert the BB mechanism into a servo.
