Spare Board Question
I was a little disappointed a couple weeks ago when I received my 2nd Tiger from Raidentech and found that it had a RX13 board, as did the one from Mato a few months ago, when it seems like everyone else was getting RX14 boards [
]
While looking at retailers selling replacement boards, they show RX14 boards for sale [although from what I understand that doesn't necessarily mean that you will get one and might end up with a 13]. I would love to upgrade to 14 boards because of the improvements, but would prefer to stay away from soldering on the boards. Is it possible to get the female end connectors that are needed to make the connections to the RX14 board? It seems a waste to have the convenience of plug-in capabillity and not the ability to use it.
Hint! Hint! RCScaleModel... if you read this:
1) Do you only carry RX14 boards?
2) If you could get the connectors for the wiring I would definately buy them - as I am sure others would as well. Not everyone here feels comfortable soldering around circuit boards.

I don't know if I'v e ever seen a RX14 board other than maybe the matorro board in my king tiger which I would recommend staying away from. Do Heng long tanks come with the RX 14 boards?

We have the RX14's in stock. Let me see if I can find a few minutes to purchase some bullet connectors, add some leads for the motors, battery and on/off switch add the connectors and then send all to you with the matching connectors. You'll then have to cut the appropriate wires and add the connectors. When do you need it?
PM or email me if you'd like to discuss further.

Thomas... for a while there it seemed that RX14's were all that people were getting from HL, especially from Mato orders. From what I remember everyone liked them - said that overheating was not an issue, and if I remember correctly the sound was improved also. I believe someone posted a video comparing the sound from the two boards.
Here's a link to the YouTube video comparing the sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW0sWHRiIiY
BTW... did you get my PM abou the airsoft gun?
Bill - you are awesome. PM sent. Thank you ~ glad to see you hanging around here!
