RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi Guys have made my first attempt to hide DBU hope it works havnt had time to test it yet hope it works .This is all your fault Chris said I would give it a try thought this one on the Tiger would be the best to start on .Have Panzer 3 and 4 to do plus the Stug .from the photos you will see 4 sensors and 3 lights the conection for the fourth light I have an Idea which if it works will post later ,Still waiting for some info from Blitz for this .In the photos you can see I have used some negative film for daylight fillter and plastic on the inside these are the baffles cant fit them on the outside so put them inside the electronics were easy to do just had to add shrink wrap to the legs of sensors and leds .

        regards pete

P.S Chris I want to know what you think

that looks rather excellent! much better than having a big cylinder sticking out the top of the tank.

i have read about this  but the pics make it far more easy to understand.

great job mate, thats something to beproud of!!

That looks spot-on Pete. I did my Panther and Tiger the same way. Using negative film for daylight filters should work too. In any case, setting the sensors deep into the cupola tends to cut out direct sunlight anyway. You must set it up to see if works Pete and if you can do some range testing too (if you can find any sunlight to test it in that is!!).

Really good work. Maybe we'll see more people having a go at concealing the ugly 'mushrooms'

Hey Pete.

It looking great, if you want more LED's you just replace your 100 ohm resistors with 33 ohms, ( but you use 4 instead of the 2 x 100 ohms ) and if you follow the circuit on the board 2 of those resistors are direclty going to two of the LED/s!, on the legs of those LED's you can run in series anohter LED since you have lowered the resistor! The other two LED's are down the line from those resistors and that is where after those two LEDs you add the other two 33 ohm resistors. ( one resistor on the negative leg of the LED that you are adding in series or piggy backing on the other resistor)  Here is a picture of what I am doing maybe that will help, or if one of you guys who have a good draw program can write if out would be much appreciated!

pete, that looks a great job, looks like i'm going to have to get the elmod csi now, and give it a go aswell, i think we should all blame chris

a job well done pete ,count me in as well , i wonder if we get discount for buying in bulk ?

Hi Guys Just finished testing it it works takes hits from across the room about 15ft had to modifie the baffles open them up they were to small but all fine now just to change the fillters after opening the holes.


    so there you go it works will test range tommorrow

Hi Pete, if you are around in feb  i am looking forward to seeing if i can still take you out,
all the best and can i say  you are doing a grand job as usual.
