RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Yesterday I brought 2 Mako units from Kevin at rctanksaustralia and installed them in my H/L KV 1 and my H/L Stug 111 both installs were a piece of cake simple plug and play have tested them with my 2 Tamiya tanks, a Kt and a KV 1 both Tamiya's shot and were by both H/L's and visa / versa and one of the Tamiya's has the Impact 2 shot kill in it which worked fine with the Mako unit. I will be doing more testing between now and the MBRTCI first battle day on sunday the 19th Feb which I will have both H/L's there to battle with everyone.
Cheers Ken

Ok did some more testing today my wife and myself had a battle both of my Tamiya tanks and the 2 H/L's, the mako unit in the H/L's performed great they shot one another plus they also shot the Tamiya's. The range that I was getting out of the H/L's was bout 8 meters which is plenty for battling.
Cheers Ken

hmmm might have to see what the postage from oz would be, still be cheaper than changing all the electrickery in the HL i think. cheers for that reaper.

Very nice. Keep up the good work. For us here in the Uk i think the postage will be the killer for us on this.

Hi Caddyshack not sure bout the postage on them as I have the first 2 which are bout the size of a business card since talking with Kevin he has redesigned it and the next lot should be bout 25% smaller then mine so postage may not be such a problem.
Cheers Ken

Agree postage could make it expensive to some here in the UK. But sure if there is enough interest in the product may be able to organise a group buy or something to minimise shippig costs. Or see if one of supporting venders will stock them?

i have some questions about the mako unit,
normaly its posible to tell the battel unit in wich tank your are driving Light, Medium, Havy
havy tanks do have a relodetima about 9sec and can be hit 9 times bevor out of order, medium 6sec and 6times, light 3sec and 3 times.
these are standart rouels at rc tank battels because all tamiya and Elmod BUs working like that.
i m asking because im searching a new easy Battelunit for the heng long tangs because the old god EGS isnt produced any more.

Hi Christian, No mate the H/L tanks keep there five hits that doesnt change, the mako unit can tell whether its a Tamiya I/R code or a H/L I/R code and registers the hit from either.
