Default clark TK22 & Fitting a Microswitch to an Airsoft gun

Hi guys,

Question for you - I have a HL Jagdpanther that I've fitted gun traverse to which means I have *******ised the airsoft unit.

I now want to fit a Clark TK22 board to drive the tank but this board needs a microswitch fitted to get the airsoft to work properly.

I know the new airsoft units have a microswitch fitted to the rear for this purpose, but my unit doesn't have this switch.

So, where is the best place to fit the microswitch to make this work or do I have to swap the unit out (which I don't want to do really)?.

Cheers

Can you show a photo of the back end of the airsoft unit?

Hi Max-u52, can't as I'm at work at the moment. The newer airsoft units have the microswitch fitted and it's a real bummer that I have to fit this. I think I'll have to swap the unit out and modify it to fit the tank. I don't like doing this as the gun shoots really well at the moment and as soon as you take these things apart, they are never as good again. That's what annoyed me about the Clark website, it assumes you have the microswitch type airsoft unit which if you are upgrading an older model with one of their boards, the chances are you wont have this fitted.

Cheers
