Asiatam elevation/recoil unit help
OK, so I read with interest Strato's Pershing build to figure this unit out. I know this unit is technically made for my Stug 3, but there were no directions so I am unsure how to install it. I think I may be able to get it mounted by hacking it in, but I am wondering if anybody has a wiring diagram for it or directions on how to install it? I have no clue how to wire it up. The stock electronics were not present when I bought the tank and I am usually a Tamiya guy, so HL is a bit foreign to me....

Are you using the HengLong electronics? I've never used HL stuff with this unit but my understanding is that it's a bit different than installing into a Clark... but I do know there are guides in a few build logs floating around.. ><
As for physical installation if it didn't come with a mounting plate, as some of them do for the Tiger, Panzer III, etc. then yea you'll likely have to 'make it fit'
...been trying to find you a good how-to but I've run out of time. Will check in asap!

Thanks to the wiring diagram, I have figured out the connections, but the unit clearly does not fit inside the citadel. I have purused Google and have yet to find a good picture of one mounted in a Stug 3. Does anybody have any ideas?? Thanks!

It is a quite small fit actually. Most people who swap over use the smaller IR unit from HL though, it is the one shaped like an airsoft unit. I unfortunately do not have one here to show as I am all sold out of the IR versions and the next batch will be airsoft 
I will see if I can find one though, I'll PM you something.

the Taigen recoil unit won't fit in a Stug, The Stug just doesn't have the space that the PzIII has. You need to use servos probably or get the HL IR recoil and modify it.
