hi guys. looking for some advice. can anyone tell me, can i use a micro servo on an elmod to simulate the recoil barrel and if so will it plug straight into the pro board? thanks dave

Hi Dave I think its possible but have never played with el-mod see here http://www.el-mod.de/pdf/PRO_english.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you are using multi channel radio (not Heng Long )even if you cant conecet to the board you could put a Y conector from the receiver conect one to the board and one to recoil (if you fit a servo slow Tunngi thing)you could have the servo move fast back slow forward,the pdf shows conections for servos, the tamiya conection wouldnt be suitable for a normal servo because there is no reverse on a tamiya recoil its just a motor going one way.
It all depends what you have in mind there is allways a way to get it working.

regards pete

thanks pete will mess about with it and see what i can do i might put a tam recoil in it dont know yet

Good job I am paying attention...yes you can, the connection points are at the bottom of the pic.

thanks rob

Thats odd, it accepted my edit last night but its not there this morning??

The servo connections are the two blue sockets at the bottom of the right hand pic, you can animate a machine gun and/or use them for a servo controlled recoil.

A bigger copy of the manual is on the Elmod site under archived docs, well worth a free download for use as a reference guide.
