I would have ran a test, but don't have a spare emitter at the moment, so I thought I'd ask you guys.

I'm building a Xion Kettenkrad which uses a simple El Mod board and 2.4 Rx. My plan is to make a rider w/IR Panzerschreck, but I didn't realize that there was a binary code sent via the emitter. There's very little room in the Ketten for any type of board, but I could probably get a Mako to fit either in the body or the figure itself.

Since the Mako goes between the RX-18 and the emitter, I assume the PIC (or timer) that's in the Mako has the Tamiya IR code. I put a meter on the setup, the RX-18 fires @ approx 4 volts, the Mako discharges the same. On the El Mod, it also sends the same voltage to a LED and then to a switchable LED via the aux channel (also has a very cool brake LED that flashes whenever you back off the throttle).

So, since the voltages are all the same, if I activate the Mako via the LED switchable lead from the El Mod, shouldn't it fire the Tamiya code through the emitter?

This is for fire only, not receiving damage.

Thanks!
