  • Multi-Turret Single Controller, quick switch

    Finally made a second turret for at least a pair. They're fully IR capable, compatible with Tamiya and Henglong. 3 Servos actuate pan, tilt, and recoil. The novel feature is a singular rc transmitter can control up to 16 turrets independently - allowing for up to 8 turrets per team that a single player can switch between - much more interesting than controlling a single stationary turret. For in-the-field configuration, a set of DIP switches allow the setting of reload time, health pool, and TX/RX address. If multiple turrets are set to the same address, the transmitter can control them simultaneously.

    That's pretty cool. A few possible battle scenarios pop into mind. I'm sure a lot more If I think about it..

      You have come a long way from the prototype used at the last LA Tanks battle. That one was hard enough to fight against now this. Dang!!!! These “turrets” open up a lot of new possibilities. Can’t wait to see how they change the dynamics of IR battling.

      If I might add a thought. It would be nice if they could be hit from behind or at 45 deg incriminates.
