If I purchased a main receiver board and a smoke and sound board and fitted these in a boat, would they work from my present transmitter?

I thought the S&S transmitter was different?

The S&S transmitter is generic and only requires matching crystal sets to communicate. The NON S&S transmitter IS completely different (internally) and uses different protocols to communicate.

The Heng Long crystals are pretty unique to the Heng Long RC range (I've heard that some people have had limited success with non HL crystals, but overall the majority don't work).

Status: offline 		I suppose rather than looking for the crystal on the receiver it would be easier to change the one on the transmitter. (shows how much attention I have paid to the front panel on the transmitter until 10 minutes ago)

The crystal on the receiver is socket mounted on the smaller PCB. It will have the ID number (01 to 04) and frequency printed on it. The transmitter crystal MUST match the receiver crystal for it to work.

Status: offline 		Below is a pic of the HL Receiver board, the smaller of the two boards needed for "S&S". It is powered by the data cable, provides input signals to the main function board, and the antenna also attaches to this board.

I have fitted an RX14 S&S set into my 1/350 scale Bismarck, proportional speed in the water is nice for small areas

Status: offline 		Seems a cheap way to get a multi function system.

Smoke, sound, and I am sure use could be found for the gun firing and turret control motors.

You could buy the complete tank and resell the tank body bits on ebay.

Status: offline 		Motors, or rudder control?

Easiest way is keep the left-right motors for the propellers, and use the turret power feed (left stick right/left) for rudder control. Then you still have 4v feed from the elevation and 7v for the airsoft feature, as well as port for power extra items like smoke and barrel LEDs (if its armed)

Does this give propertional power to the motors. i.e. more power to the left motor when turning right and more to the right when turning left?
