The Clark unit has its own battle system. You don't need the DBC.

The mini connector Clark uses are hard to come by, I just spliced in a larger pin socket to the Clark wiring to get away from those tiny connectors.

Hi Just been dong range tests of a early board(first batch) with the resistor soldered over,I am happy with the range I managed,80ft and ran out of flat ground it could be more.

Tested two types of emitter from Mapins CY85g and yh70m here is link for them http://www.maplin.co.uk/high-power-infr ... diode-2253
Spent money buying 5 CY85g and there crap max range was 36 ft so dont even buy these .
Now the good news The YH70m from Maplins was getting hits out to 80ft (could be more ran out of flat ground)This was test was done on a garage site on the bases where 10 garages once stood didnt get the tape out but the garages where the same has mine which is 8ft wide x10 = 80ft so this works out at 24 mtrs with a 4ft target area moved the tanks from side to side it was about 4 ft wide ,Had the emitter held in a clamp so not effected with a barrel or tank movement,or miss alinement of emitter in a tank or barrel shading.(note I only shot at one side of the impact apple for all shots to eliminate apple angle difference and to avoid angle defence and slope defence)

This range is better than i thought I would get I am one happy chappie now can fit these in any tank and if I am not hitting them at range its either me being a bad shot or the other bloke has a bad receiver.

regards pete

I received my TK20E-T1 boards a couple days ago, a TK20E-RU board today, & just got the chance, along with a couple of Clark's high power IR010 IR LED emitters, to do a quick test.

For the sensors I had a standard Heng Long battle unit (HBU), & luckily for me, I also just got a Tamiya apple (TBU) in from the AAF Tank Museum today (super quick from purchase to door-step, thanks Karen), so I had more than just a Heng Long sensor to test.

I did this quick experiment outside in the dark tonight, using my Panther's lower hull as a target, just perching the connected apples on the rear of the hull by the exhaust, as parallel to the ground as I could get them to sit. My KV1 was used for the shooter, though the IR LED was mounted inside a small tube, 9mm from its opening, & just held in my hand for aiming.

Unfortunately, the ground
I used for testing only has about 50ft of almost perfectly flat cement, then some uneven gound extended beyond the cement. But I was still very happy with the results, & I can't wait to fully install everything into the tanks to do some proper testing, hopefully on an area with well over 90ft of flat ground. Just using the standard HBU sensor I was able to easily get hits at about 50ft with Clark's
IR010 IR LED. Using the TBU sensor, I was marking hits at over 95ft, though I have to say, the real issue I had at getting any hits, using either sensor at any distance greater than the 50ft, was more because I couldn't even see the target at longer ranges with the very low lighting in the area where I did my testing, that along with the more uneven ground I was on at those ranges ... so aiming was extremely difficult. I didn't manage to get any hits with the HBU past the 50ft, but I didn't really try too long either since I already got hits over 95ft using the TBU.

I'm expecting to get some TSAL5100 IR LED emitters within the next few days to test as well,
& those have a higher intensity with the same 20° angle as Clark's IR010 emitters, so even better ranges should be possible. IR range isn't a problem any longer.

Hi All

Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread but has anybody tried the T-55 version yet and if so do they have a video of it running. I have been waiting to see if it was worth getting one for my T-55.

cheers
Gorehound

The T55 is OK, but in my opinion not as nice as the Tiger. It has a very long reloading sound clip that plays, and again just not my kind of thing. Others may find it fantastic.

Hi

I agree with you on that one. Not so keen on the engine sound either but realise that may just be from the sound from the clip playing on my computer speakers making it sound a bit off. Think I might just go the Benedini route for the T-55 and will get the Clark for the Tiger.

cheers

So did you use the HL cable kit for this from Clark? I am going to order the TK20E-RU for my T-34 and want to be sure I get the right cables. I am going to use a Tamiya Apple with it as I have two of them already.

hello all,

I've shot Clark an email regarding some queries below which some of the good rc tankers here may have thought of as well.

1. Wouldn't it be good if the bergepanzer mode be expanded such it can also reload the ammo loadout of the the vehicle being repaired to its initial ammo level. This would in essence provide a sense of logistical perspective when doing battles (i.e., scenarios) or series of battles (i.e., campaigns). 

This paves way to tank company battles, with 3 x tank combatants, 1 HQ vehicle/bergepanzer, and 1 scout (i.e., halftrack),whereby logistics and recon must be factored in not just simply blasting away. Especially with the iDrive project rolling, this I think would really be enjoyable. For instance, scouts may probe the front with MGs and may take out the HQ vehicles, or flanking manuevers to either keep your HQ vehicle (such that repair, resupply and perhaps reinforcement-tank respawn) or destroy enemy HQ to deny these functions.  

2. As to the the MG firing function, would the IR10 be used for this purpose and would just be a simple swap to the HL-provided MG led?

3. Variable IR range toggle switch or add-on board to the TK boards to dial down IR range.  For instance, if the max IR range of current technology is about 30 m, then this would be reserved for the modern guns.
 (Option 5, 30 m range) guns with > 105 mm
 (Option 4, 25 m range) for 90 to 105 mm as well as 88 mm L71 on the KT's.  
 (Option 3, 20 m range) for 76 mm, 17 pdr, 88 L/56, 75 mm L/70
 (Option 2, 10 m range) for 75 mm
 (Option 1, 5 m range) for guns 37-57 mm

5. Any plans on making the IR hit receiver, such to eliminate inconsistencies of the HBU? A CBU (clark battle unit) with 4 sensors similar to the DBU (david's/darkith battle unit).
