Dont use a mako system unless you cant afford something better. The ibu2 is plug and play for henglong and costs about 170 bucks, i got mine yetserday.

i have seen lots of mako equipped tanks at battles, the ir range is very short, and the tanks always have lots of failures on the field. IMHO the Mako is not worth having. Sorry. I think its enough to drive somebody away from this hobby.
