Just a small update , have finished installing the electronics and all the wiring, still needs to be tested, when I get the SGS software on my Turnigy TX Kevin has installed the servo on the recoil unit (many thaks Kev) and now I have cut the barrel off to make it recoil, bit harder than I thought as its so big and I haven't any styrene or brass tube big enough to use, so of to the hardware store to see what I can find  Pics soon Cheers Gra

Hey Gra, I think that you are a little confused. There is no such thing as 'the SGS software'. What you are wanting to install is the latest version of tankER9X which has templates for SGS, El Mod and so on. Any unit SGS, El Mod, Tamiya, or the new RC2HL board for Heng Long tanks will all work with a 9X with or without tankER9X (or any other hobby radio for that matter). Your 9X as it is will have zero problems running your SGS unit right now. You would just have to set it up. tankER9X simply has some templates to save you the time of setting them up yourself. The servo for the recoil was the easy bit. That's a big job ahead of you sorting out that barrel. And what's with the ..'I haven't any styrene...' You the King of Styrene for central NSW. I can hear that Hobby Shop owner in Goulborn rubbing his hands together in glee. Good luck with that barrel Cheers Kevin G |

OK some more pics  have made a screw to hold down the hull through the air breather hole made new armour plate from styrene so all will glue and stick together well (didn't want to use superglue as needed time to line all the parts up) next finished the wiring (seems to be a lot wires ) not tested yet, you can also see the screw lug on the back of the speaker box for the screw to hold the hull down now the barrel chop now need to find some tube to go into the mantlet for the barrel to recoil in cheers gra

Hi Gra, I must compliment you on your layout and wiring mate, beautifully neat and tidy. keep up the great work and the paintings not so bad mate, little and often,perhaps with the aid of a tinny or two always makes things go smoother(steadys the nerves and stops the shakes) Cheers, Ace |

Thanks Ace Gotta have tidy wiring, it makes for easy access/trouble shooting and can fit more in if needed Will take your advice on the painting, will have plenty of tinny's on hand (just in case)  I think I have nearly sorted the barrel recoil Cheers Gra |

Ok another update have sorted the barrel recoil (not hooked up to electrics yet) ended up getting some PVC pipe fittings and they fit perfect (nearly) and I said the barrel was big so I needed a big clamp as well showing the barrel in ready mode barrel in recoil position finally finished the front fender made the fender latch from alu and brass pin added a metal bolt to the shackel pic of the servo mod that Kevin did for me many thanks mate still will need some work to make all fit and get the maximum travel for the recoil cheers gra
