Hi all!
I'm a new member of this great community writing from Italy as a member of the www.rctankir.com tank club located in and around Milan.
I'm writing to this tank community asking information about the SLU and his integrated battle system: in this page http://soundandlightunit.weebly.com/ir-battling.htmlit's announced that "When your tank takes 50% of your total hit allotment, your tank's speed decreases by 50% to simulate battle damage" and that the battle system it's compatible with the tamiya battle system.
But if the system it's compatible with the TBU why the decrease speed it's not like the standard tamiya system that follows?
<table border="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div align="center">Class</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Reload time</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">50% speed at X</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">25% speed at X</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Destroyed at X</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Momentum</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Invulnerability</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center">Super Light</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">2 sec</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Minimal</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">20 sec</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center">Light</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">3 sec</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">2</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">3</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Little</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">15 sec</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center">Medium</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">5 sec</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">3</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">5</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Medium</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">12 sec</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center">Heavy</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">9 sec</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">1</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">5</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">9</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">Lots!</div> </td> <td> <div align="center">10 sec</div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
Is it possible with the SLU to have at least the 50% speed decrease at the first shot? And the 75% speed decrease at a determinated shot recevied?
Thanks in advance for any reply!

No one can reply?
It means that no one have ever used the SLU in IR battle?

thanks for any reply.

I'll know after Aug. 13th when I use my new one at our local tank meet.

If Firementim see's this, he might be able to better answer the question.

TBU is just a IR sensor.  it doesn't do any damage calculate.
"it's compatible with the TBU" only means SLU can connect with TBU after some modifications.
I don't think SLU can set as "50% speed decrease at the first shot". 

The SLU in "compatible" as far as it can take and give IR hits to a Tamiya IR system.

The SLU equipped tank will drop to 50% speed when it sufferes 50% hits. It will not drop to 25% when it reaches 25% of its hit capacity.

It seems then that the SLU doesn't follow the same battle rules as the industry-standard Tamiya's. Even if its compatible I don't think clubs will accept it in club battles.

May be tamiya should changer their set up ??? 50% speed loss in one shot ??
Ho and lets not forget the 45 degree tamiya cheat.. If your looking for the perfect IR system , there is none.
Me I play for fun ....oops I used the "F" word......

If the new system takes hits and dies, DAKwill give a good try out before we make a "ruling" on battle eligibility. The El Mod and DBU systems aren't exactly "perfect"either at scale speed.

i'm with you on this one Captain...remember this...lol
