Hi, Cruiser,

Mato M4 version : $30 not include servos(recoil and elevation), servo used in this unit is RG90MD metal gear servo, if you can not find it in local hobby shop, we can oder for you, $10 for each.
Taigen/HL version: around $40, this version need more parts becasue we want to correct gun trunnion position in Tiger I too, will be released on March.

Regards,
Clark

Thanks for continuing to support 1/16 tanks.
Also can show the realistic recoil movement of our RealRecoil design and bidirectional elevation.

A lot of systems have servo recoil, so it will appeal to a broad spectrum. I think it was the DBC2 that first introduced servo recoil many years ago.. Now there is the IBU2, Clark, BARC4, And RCTA all delivering this option, So this servo mod will be a welcome addition as many different systems can make use of it. In addition, programmable radios can set up a servo to act as recoil through channel mixing, so this will be a popular mod for many users.

What material are you using for construction?

Cheers

Althout many system have servo recoil function now, but performence are quit differnt, for example, DBC has constant forward and backward speed, some board stop a bit before return. we actually use mathmatical routine to simulate the damper effect on return movement in each PWM frame by frame. thus we call it RealRecoil, not just servo recoil.

When you released DBC2? we introduced servo recoil in our 1/35 control system about 10 years ago.

Clark,

Do you have a version that will work with the HL 1/16th Abrams? For recoil, and elevation?

Hi, Godowar,

Sure, we will, and it is the best to work with our GBS version TK22G2, all default parameters in TK22G2 are based on gear ratio and servo angle of it(sorry, can't help to promote our TK22G2), maybe I will also include better turret rotate motor, HL's turret rotate motor speed seems too slow, can't meet the specification of M1 tank, 360 degree in 9s.

Regards,
Clark

Definitely would like to Order the pieces for your M4 Recoil...

And you are Correct, the HL Abrams needs some Upgrades.
Both Turret and Driving Speeds are too Slow...
I'm waiting on a set of Tracks to land on my doorstep before start Tinkering with it...

I could really use this for my T55 and M1A2. Great work and thank you for always looking for new ideas for the hobby

If you could include exact wiring instructions for wiring it to the TK22 (in the Mato all metal M4) that would be great. Put me down for an order.

Actually, there is no extra wiring needed if your M4 is RTR version, just move two servos inside the turret to our recoil unit. TK22 inside Mato M4 is already set for servo recoil and elevation.

Yes, my M4 is RTR. So, the two servos already in the turret are the ones I will need for your recoil unit? If so, that's great.

Clark, I've got an interesting need that involves multiple turrets. Am sending a PM off the board.

Sooooo..... Just for conversation....

Function with Tamiya is my overall interest. I can guess the elevation is easy to adapt.... But how do you recommend I wireRecoil?

Hi Clark, let me know when you are ready to sell the new M4 recoil. Thanks.

Tamiya electronic does not support servo elevation, so it can not be used on Tamiya tank, but you can replace Tamiya electrons with TK22+TBS mini like me!
