Available NOW in the RC Tanks Australia Shop



Premium control module for 1/25 to 1/16 scale tanks. Available for the following models:

Overview:
The module controls the following functions:
• Proportional control of acceleration and steering
• Proportional control of turret rotation and main cannon elevation
• Support for servo control of turret rotation and cannon elevation
• Servo or motor control for cannon recoil
• Cannon LED flash
• Machine Gun LED

The controller is typically suitable for 1:16 tank models. For models of greater scale (up to 1/4 scale) the modules should be used in conjunction with a TVC - B series controller of appropriate power.

Costs:
TVC-TRF10 - $249 AUD
TV-HRF-BU (Battle Unit to convert existing Heng Long system to Tamiya capability) - $25 AUD

This is great news. Any timeframe where this could be available...My Abrams is itchin' to have a go at this.

It'll be good if more info (i.e. url) or any document wherein we can compare how this would fair with El Mod, SLU, DBCs, Tam, Impact, IBU.

Fingers crossed, I hope this would have:
1. at least 4 classes (DBC), or better yet SLU style (3-12 hits)
2. SLU style battle control with adjustable ammo and IR sensitivity
3. takes 50% decrease in speed upon first hit (Tamiya, DBC), unlike SLU
4. momentum simulation similar to DBC.
5. model switching easier than El Mod
6. extended combat mode similar to EL Mod
7. IR range adjustment and/or extender similar to impact
8. repair function similar to IBU

Amen!!!

any M1A2 with SGS???

Hi Reyemmanuel

As much of the information you have asked for will be available soon. If you are able to understand German then it is available now. Below is a grab from the manual about the battle system.

In short 4 classes
Car or truck - 1 hit - destroyed
Light Tank - 3 hits - destroyed
Medium Tank - 6 hits - destroyed
Heavy Tank - 9 Hits - destoyed

Yes tank mobility and function are decreased as you sustain more hits

Reload & Repair time also set to class.

No there is not the extended system of ElMod since the Tami & HL mushrooms only have a single sensor.

You will be able to order very soon. However, all first up orders will be combined with the first shipment for the store so there will be short delay as the first units will have to be shipped from Germany first.

Cheers

Very happy with the system in my Taigen Tiger 1, big improvement on the Heng Long. I will be buying others to replace Heng Long

Very Glad to hear

Work has been continuing on making the best possible match between the SGS modules and the tankER9X firmware. Since your tank was done the inertia simulation has been greatly improved. Best of all is that all you need to do is to add the new settings to your Tiger Mix add adjust the values to your taste.

Cheers
