RE: Hooking a HL Recoil Unit to a Tamiya DMD
I have not done anything much to show at the moment. All I have is a Tamiya Tiger DMD/MFU on my work bench with a HL recoil unit (out of a JP) layed out and I have been trying different wiring combinations hoping that I can get it to recoil.
This risk is of course that if you do it wrong you burn out the resistor in the MFU and then it will simply run constantly for 30secs no matter how it is wired. I do not want to make that mistake so wanted to ask for help first.
There must be someone out there that has done it.
My main aim to use one of those new HL Tiger Tank recoil units in my model that is both a recoil unit and an elevation unit in one housing. The recoil movement is more correct than the Tamiya version (fast back and slow forward) and the whole thing is more efficient in terms of space usage, robustness and not to mention is more reasonably priced than the equivalent tamiya parts.
Cheers
