Default Can leopard 1a4 c1

I did up a new sound file for my Leopard 1A4, and spent some time reworking this tank. I moved the IR into the Mantlet, and did some additional lighting with the TBS adding functioning brake lights

Dan, that is awesome! Sounds excellent. You know your gonna have to tell me how you set up the brake lights..

And Is that the Perfect scale turret? I want to order that but its pre order only right now with an unknown ship date. I want to do up the Hellenic 1A5.

No it has a whole bunch of lighting options as well. I just push the sound, but it has brake lights,signal lights, head lights flashing beacon and can control two more servos, all user definable. Sound is only half of it., It is almost open source in how you configure it to work. The longer I dabble in it the more I find out. IT also can be configured to adjust the volume up and down from the transmitter, and has been this way since it was released way back when. To do it uses up a couple of addresses though that I would sooner use these addresses for other things so seldom mention this. .

Oh and Yes that is the Perfect scale resin turret with some scratch built Canadian features added.

I am now starting to run 12 volt invertors and 15 watt amps in my tanks. The extra voltage really allows some extra punch with clean sound.

Thanks Joe. I have been working on a good 1A4 sound file for awhile. This one has a real throaty sound that YouTube fails to pickup. It mimics the real thing pretty good though. I was watching a video of some on board action of the real thing and I was happy with how similar this sound file has captured this tank
