How can I tell which HL tanks have the TK-6.1 mainboard installed (separate part number from 6.0 equipped perhaps?)

Link to vendor offering that has 6.1 would be appreciated !

mustclime

1) says tk6 point something in the discription.
2) says 4 sound files
3) says both ir and airsoft capable

try mato mart

Crius

I'm pretty sure that right now the only tanks that come with the 6.1 are the top-of-the-line Abrams, and possibly the leopard.

I want one for my old Pershing.

Crius

I think you can get the Pershing with the 6.0, but not the 6.1

We have the T90s atm with the 6.1 I believe, it has both the IR and BB functions on it, but that is all with the new system.

I can confirm that the Abrams Pro Plus Edition has a TK6.1S, not a TK6.1. I can't attach photos here for some reason, so I hope it's alright if I cross-post to my thread here with photos of my tank with said TK6.1S:

For the conventional Upgrade Edition and Professional Edition tanks, so far only the Abrams and T-90 Professional editions we're bringing in have had the TK6.1 pre-installed but I suspect those were flukes. The majority of the other TK6 tank models, in all editions, are all TK6.0S.

TK6.0 = Proportional everything, IR, airsoft, adjustable track recoil, adjustable turning/speed/etc ("expo")
TK6.0S = TK6.0 with a better smoker circuit
TK6.1 = TK6.0S with ports for cannon recoil servo, cannon elevation servo, light sensor, and cannon stabilizer (gyro)
TK6.1S = TK6.1 with higher ampacity (160A)


Note, not all Heng Long tanks have been TK6'd yet. So far Heng Long has implemented this on 15 of their 24 tanks.

Thanks for sharing the link ALPHA,MRC. Wow smoke from the gun firing is so Cool !!!

mustclime

I've been out of it for a little bit. Does Taigen have a similar system? For awhile Taigen was way out in front of HL's electronics. Sounds like HL is working hard to make improvements.

Crius

Hey Philip, good to see ya back. Yeah, HL has serious;y upped their game, and I have to say they've far surpassed TG for both control and functions. They've been making steady improvements to the 5.3, but the new 6.0 and 6.1 are a real step forward for RTR tanks. I have a video of the JP I got with 6.0, and it really performs well.

philipat

Good to know. I'll have to look at different options when I get the time (and money) for another tank.

Have either figured out how to make the main gun go up and down with the joy stick (preferably the same one that causes the turret to rotate)?

Crius

The HL tanks have been doing that since the 5.3, and yes, it's the same stick as rotation.

Scaleman3

Yes, I have to agree with Crius, HL has come a long way with improvements but until they have barrel recoil I'm sticking with what I have as far as a new tank. For me that has always been an issue. My Taigen Tiger I did it and I loved it.

The HL TK6.1 has a plug for a recoil servo. The HAYA Chieftain fires BB's and IR and has recoil, that uses a rebranded TK6.1

Hi Woz
My Haya Chief says HAYA TK6.3

Damn wire in the way

How is your updated cupola going?

Wozwasnt

The HAYA TK6.3 is exactly the same as the HL TK6.1, just has a different label.

Not started the cupola as I'm finishing off my SU-152 first.

afv aficionado

Hi Woz
Ah, the old switcheroni with the labels...
Cool re the cupola - will just keep plugging away on it, Still trying to figure out how to remove the gunners periscope safely.
