  • Taigen barrel smoke

    I have bought a Taigen Panther G, with infrared firing system, I am trying to find a barrel smoke unit to go with it, but I cant find any from Taigen, all of them are Heng Long units (that I have found), does anyone know it the unit will be compatible with the circuit board? and if they aren't compatible what I should do?

    Here's a good question that nobody answered. I'm also curious since I'm working on a new project. TIA

      Easiest solution is to replace the Taigen/Torro MFU with a HL 7.1 MFU. At which point adding barrel smoke is easy.

        The newer Torro version has barrel smoke, see this post from David https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc...354#post352354

          I don't think this is definitive as Motion RC doesn't list barrel smoke, just flash and recoil for Torro models

            Fair point, Motion's specs are also inconsistent in other listings.

            Maybe the current variants have this feature per another site.

              From MotionRC, I think only the 5 unpainted T34/85, Panther G, Panther F, King Tiger, and Tiger I E come with smokes at the barrels when fire.

                Nope. No barrel smoke on my Torro Tiger I from MotionRC. I love the recoil and flash though. I's impossible to find the barrel smoker for the Taigen/Torro sold separately.
