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.
