RE: rx18 full fire mod
Bubba,
This looks great, but can you help me wrap my mind around it! What wires are you eliminating? When you do the upgrade, does it not function the same as the factory tank why? Or is this reffering to the mod that gets the left stick and the K button to fire together?
Thanks

Interesting. Looks good, but desperately needs punctuation, capitalization, and a section break between the two methods. Hard to wrap your head around where the sentances and sections begin and end otherwise.

as to the other post this will not harm the board if soldered in correctly or you use the alternative method what you are doing with this mod is suppling the ground signal to triger the funtion of the K button and the ground signal normaly supplied by the recoil unit and you have 2 less wires going into the turret

what this mod dose is removes the wires that are needed to engage the high tension flash as for the flash to work it requiers a signal from the recoil unit this removes the need for those wires and engages the cannon sound and fires the IR led as well the IR only fires when the recoil is attached this removes that need as well as the upward movment of the stick will egage the fire sound as well without it you can only get the IR led to fire using the K button on the remote . If upgreding to an rx18 board on a airsoft tank this allows the IR to fire when you fire the main gun

Hi
Is there any specific diode that needs to be used? I would like to try this but would need to know what to purchase in the way of a diode before I can do it.
Thanks

Thanks Bubba. It is amazing what guys come up with to make this things better. Stuff like this plus the Old trick with the LED flash off the old boards, really enhances the tanks. Nice thing is they are realitively inexpensive, and I guy doesn`t mind doing some èxperimenting

RE: rx18 full fire mod
Hi Bubba
Quick question on this as I have only just got round to working on it. I have got the diode installed and all was well. I push up the stick and the tank recoils and the gun fire sound goes off. I then thought I would add a Tam recoil unit into the picture as per a previous post on the wiring diagram and it goes a bit wrong. The recoild does work and the gun sound goes off in unison. The problem is that the tank itself recoils three times and appears to be breakdancing . The Tam recoil is wired into the two smoke unit wires and also into the fire signal wire.
Have I done something wrong or is this a problem using this mod and a Tam recoil. I am waiting for an HL recoil unit from Bill at RCcommand but it is probably somewhere over the atlantic (or stuck in customs) at the moment but suspect it will behave in the same manner looking at how it works.
cheers

Hi
Still doing the fandango every time I push the stick up []. I have a couple of the HL units on the way from Bill at RCcommand so I may just wait until they arrive to see if it is any better.
cheers
