Hello all. My name is Tang. I made an account after some peer pressure.

For different cable arrangements I'd have to feel out the general demand as I have minimum quantity obligations. I'm exploiting my manufacturing connections overseas for the benefit of our hobby lol. So far this is my first experiment of bringing something to our hobby that I could see a need for. I've teamed up with Haojie to start offering them with LegoDEI Heng Long units so that people who just got their 7.0 tank will be able to join us sooner and with less effort. I have another couple of ideas in mind in the future if this proves worthwhile.

*please note that this was a preproduction demo photo so the cable colors and arrangement might be a little different upon delivery.

I've installed two of these cable sets, on a Pershing and a Sherman. They work fine! I did change the three-wire plug to work with a 7.1 board so I could activate servo operated barrel recoil mechanisms. If others think a 7.1 version is desirable, let us know.

The T34/85 that was donated to our club by Toucan Hobby online store is ready for battle next Saturday in Stanton City Central Park.

It was the most fun event that we had just for our club members. We did not apply the loaner tank program this time. So there was no guest. I did not have to bring my rule sheets, sign in sheet, and loaner tanks, It was more like a RC tank battle picnic. Mike (4th from the right) brought his grill and made hot dogs for all of us at lunchtime. We played all sorts of games: destroy all enemy's tanks, capture enemy's head quarter, north/south direction, east/west direction, and 2 lives per tanks battles. In the future, we will try to set up our battlefield for a 3 nation war and another field for the tank race :-)
