My first clark is airsoft but if I put an IR tank on clark I might try one of those out. My IR tank is almost exactly like Angelo's Taigen Full Metal Tiger One, IBU2 for electronics, except his is a late and mine's an early. That base looks like it should slip right into the Taigen metal Tiger One Early turret. Have you had many customers install it in one of those? I know the IBU supports the Tamiya apple, but I'll have to email for the info on the plug. I have a wide assortment of JST plugs, so I should be covered and swapping pins is no biggie. Kevin taught me that stuff a while ago. And it gives me an excuse to get a better crimper. And I've been thinking about routing from the turret. I need enough spare wire to change batteries, but I can always make up a 5 pin "extension cord". I've been thinking about kinda sistering a daughterboard next to the existing daughter board that holds the 8 pin and running a five pin from the IBU to the daughter board right alongside the 8 pin that goes from mother to daughter. then from 5 pin daughter to the turret, and if I get really ambitious I might try a slip ring. That's too many wires to even think about until I get a lot more serious about it, but they have zillions of different slip rings available for cheap.
