sherman engine sounds

Post by boxerdog »

id like to swap my sherman sounds to the type used in the tamiya pershing, is this a straight swap and all will still work the same ect, i beleive its a v8 in the pershing? is thats right?, i know it sounds better than the standard sherman i have on my 105mm howitzer, where can i get the mf-03, or has anyone got one spare, i can then offer my mf-02 as a swap or sell on to someone else,

thanks trev :thumbup:

Thats about as cheap as you will get a new one for, but you know if you go down that path, the next step is a Tamiya recoil unit :D

just got my gearcase covers in the post, so off to get some paint, 1st little add on ive done on it, one problem it seems to have is the range, it wont go too far, got brand new duracels in handset,fully charged battery, any ideas why such a low range, im talking a couple of car lenghts in front of me and it tends to jump/cut out alot??

Did you move the aerial?

I always found the range quite good, although don't think I let it get too far away from me!

That looks a good price Trev for a mf-03 the pershing sounds great and you can rev it up without it moving. :thumbup:

Hi Trev.
Just a thought but is your reciever or aerial close to either the motors or the dmd?
Also check suppresion capacitors on motors and make sure they are still soldered on correctly.Does this problem only happen when driving?Can you walk away from it further and still operate turret etc ok with the tank idling?
Is your aerial wire making good contact with the metal aerial?
Another thing to maybe check is the TX aerial.It may be worth having a peep inside the TX and make sure the wire to the telescopic aerial is in place.
Good luck.
Steve.

WOW just started my Sherman, first time in about 12 months, scared me to death because the volume was on full :crazy: soooooo much louder than the Heng Longs i have. I did not know the Pershing sounds let you rev it while stationary, that sounds cool, and i want it :D :D (thanks Trev :/ )
