I know this an old thread but have been referencing it for ideas and guidance while upgrading. SoCalBob would you mind posting pics and/or explaining how you mounted the IR sensor in the cupola?
Also has anyone added traversing to their Stug? Would appreciate info, pics, part #s etc….
Thanks

DD, your last question first: I didn't incorporate traverse. I use my tanks in IR battles, and there is enough "beam spread" to simulate the 10 or 15 degree swing. The IR bulb is in the barrel, about 1cm in from the muzzle.
Regarding mounting the IR sensor, it's a LegoDEI. You'll have to solder wires or otherwise make the connection with the main board. For placement in the Stug III's case, it's simply a matter of removing the hatch and placing the receiver in it's place. Most of Heng Long's parts are glued with some sort of CA, and a good debonder will allow you to remove the parts required. I keep the hatches just in case, but I've never found the need to reinstall them.
Twenty six tanks, and not done yet!

Also how did you mount the IR bulb?

Hi, I just found an older video about the StuG3.
Thought it might be interesting enough because a lot of you are detailing experts.
Here is a rare example of an original colored Stug3 in a museum.

That wire that hangs down from the BB Shooting Machine? What does it plug into? I removed the wires to solder one of them and now I can't figure out what it plugs into. Doesn't look like there's a port for it on the main board.
Thanks!

Thanks!Only US$10.99. Enhance your RC tank car with the Heng Long BB Shooting Machine with a 130 motor and pull-back spring. Perfect for the 3818 and 3819 1/16 scale models. Shop now at Banggood!
The BangGood listing is the simplest BB shooting system. The BB motor (130) plugs into CH10. It is the same port from TK-5.3, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0 to 7.1 MFU. There is a trigger motor at the back which has yellow wires in newer units that plug into CN6. On the BangGood unit, both pair of wires are black and red.
