  • LED Beacons

    I ordered three LED beacons for our tanks; one each orange, red and blue. They're found on the TankZhang shop on AliExpress. I've attached a video demo clip. They plug into the IR receiver socket. They only use the red and black leads, so I'm sure they could be rewired to connect elsewhere. They have a number of different flash modes, four I think. They are magnetized on the base, so I used the magnet attach points on the turret. The video was taken in shade but on a sunny day. They're much more visible from above, our usual position when running our tanks.

    Ok, it's up to our community to find uses for them!

    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

    I'm going to mount one of these from Ebay on top of one of my Abrams.



    I have seen full scale Abrams and Challenger II tanks on the web with rotating beacons.

    It's all fun,
    Steve
