Taigen to Henglong

BTW, these 25mm ID clamps for PVC water pipe is great for holding the pumps in place.

Sweet !! and Thank you !

Got some from this place https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001...rch-mainSearch

Just merge the 2 plugs in my case. I also used a smaller pump (shorter) due to space. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383801359969

Thank you !!

Zippersnapper Long time.... Not sure you saw this before, I use the aquarium pump setup in my Taigens, and here's a sample clip https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xzp...ew?usp=sharing

"aquarium pump setup" ? Is that what is shown in the Pic? Same as the flash & smoke for the barrel, but without the electronic board & LED. Hmmmm. The Taigen MFU has only one connection for both blower & heating coil....how is this wired exactly? By joining the two? Can you link me to where you purchased?

GI Tank Smokers makes nice replacements that put out more smoke than stock. He lives in Socal and I have seen his products personally though I do not use smoke at all in my models.

Thanx Rich !

Love it my freind. In the process of doing that very thing as I type this...



But on the Walker Bulldog....I gave up on the Taigen Sherman....

All Done....

My coil conversion on the Taigen Sherman didn't work out so well in the long run. I assume the coil resistance played a large part in making the smoke switch on the MFU in-operable. Had to buy another Taigen MFU. Now to my question:

I decided to try and make the 25mm fan conversion setup like I did for my Henglong Tanks-It works quit well. As we know, Henglong uses a 2 JST connection for the smoke unit. 1 for the heating coil, and 1 for the blower motor. Taigen on the other hand, uses 1 JST connection for both-presumably because its proportional controlled by the speed. So I thought if I simply combine both the fan and the heating coil together, using the stock PCB, then all should be fine. Not so much. Nothing happened. No fan motor spin, nothing. I then checked the resistance of both the factory setup and my rig. The factory Taigen has a resistance of 11.2 Ohm. My rig had a resistance of 1.2 Ohm. So I robbed the little resistor from a spare blower motor and put it on the Taigen PCB. Now both setups are reading 11.2 & 11.0 Ohm resistance....all from 1 JST plug. I figured a home run, but again NOTHING happens. I dont understand WTH is going on here. I hooked the stock Taigen smoke unit back up-works flawless.

The smoke output is LAME on Taigen Tanks-even at full throttle IMO. I'm at a loss as what to do. Anyone have any ideas? Here is what I did. I even made sure the palcement was exact so all 3 screws would line up from underneath.
