yes that could be through ... but ... tamiya have allready descent DIGITAL soundwork for their tanks ... they get passed by on Elmod wich mixes the samples better ... don't forget a MFtamiya module cost 120 euro the same elmot clocks on 200 for the soundmodule alone ... so i would not put the blame on tamiya ... its good quality without bells ... that's what it always was ...

i know guy's which buy a HL Tiger I with metal upgrades for 170euro and buy a elmot for it from 200 euro and still complaining that tamiya is to expensive , he just put 370€ into his HL with basic upgrades and Elmod while i payed 420€ for the Tiger I from tamiya Full Option ... choose yourself wich tank you think will ride over 12 years and haven't needed much spares over the years ... his HL would never have the quality tamiya provides in the box will cost far more on upgrades then

I know the elmod is bit superior on the tamiya samples but for its price it better be far more superior

For my third KTi chouse a Benedini soundmodul the small one TDSmini costed around99euro ... the samples of that soundcard are far better then anything else on the marked ... the benedini TBS5 for the big ones 1/6 etc ... costed 215€ like in the tiger of mark lawson on 1/6 or marcel de groene with his early panther G that's motorsound and gunfire ... topnotch soundmodule ...
