Is there any way to eliminate the retarded jerk when these things fire?
I have a Leopard 2A6 and an incoming M1 Abrams.

Thanks,

I watched a video of the Abrams recoil. It doesn't really look "retarded" to me, nothing like the Heng Longs for example. Real Abrams rock back when the gun is fired too.

Not if the gun is fired to the side.

It would take sensors and programming to moderate the amount of recoil jerk based on turret orientation, not impossible, just complicated.

Real tanks rock a bit when they shoot. They don't jerk violently back and forth.

A Tamiya shouldn't rock back and forth. Any chance you could provide a vid? By the sounds of it I would almost think you may not have tamiya electronics?

The same as other Tamiya tanks, HL tanks.

HL tanks jerk toyish back and forth, tamiya's have a subtle jerk only backwards.

With Clark or WH (not yet available in languages other than Chinese) board, I would set the track recoil to the minimum level, so the suspension will rock a little when firing.
The movement is subtle enough that you will not notice which direction it is jerking. Works well for shots from the sides.

I dunno, these look pretty similar to me. (model vs real)

If yours is moving back like a Heng Long, then there must be something wrong with it..

Now that it's built and running, the jerk ain't so bad.
Do really love the Stab feature though. When running at realistic speeds, she follows really well.
Still cannot figure out what the snorkel on the speaker box is for.
