Small interjection for the airsoft crowd...
Looks like we wouldn't need the controller or the battle unit. It appears that there isn't any programming necessary for an airsoft tank. Just plug the airsoft unit into the same spot as the recoil (if using IR & recoil) and you're up and running. Correct?
Yes, it plugs into the spot where the recoil goes. There will be instructions regarding how to do this as I believe there are some jumpers that need to be set (Hulu will correct me on this)
Also, would you have to buy a tank-specific SLU? Meaning that the sounds are not programmable. I couldn't take the SLU from a Pershing, reprogram the sounds and put it into a Tiger...or are the sounds stored on something like that a micro SD card that can be replaced depending upon the type of tank that it's placed into?
Each SLU has specific sounds. No you can't take a M26 SLU and reprogram it for a Tiger. I like the SD card idea though. I'll pass that on to the manufacturer.
The remote programmer is only for the IR battle system.
