Did you try any tinted plex or louvers to shield the IR Rx? Would be cool to see some shots. If you look at the MOTOR POOL on our site, you can see the 'Home Made' IR system that Merle built for his HL Tiger. He started with the TANKHOBBY battle circuit. He has also crammed it into a 21st Century PAKWAGEN.
