Turret Rotation

[fcolin821]

Has anyone tried the universal servo Turret Rotation from clark model part no.16014

No, but is there a specific reason you want servo rotation? Do you have a main board that can handle a servo like a Clark, IBU, or a Heng Long 7.1? it will be hard to obtain if you are in the US. DAK Tanks is pretty much the Clark distributer in the US and they don't stock a lot of Clark stuff. They sometimes have to special order it which can take months.

No point in doing a servo rotation for most tanks. Only special builds that can’t use a henglong style rotation motor

No specific reason just thought about trying it.
I'm in the uk so i order direct from clark in taiwan

I used servo for barrel recoil and automatic loader tilt. It depends on the controller to get proportional rotation speed of the turret. Most MFU has just on-off function for the turret motor. Let us know which Clark board you use, what programming you need to do and how proportional the rotation is. A video will be nice.

Will proportional rotation speed of the turret be an advantage in tank battle?

The regular turret motors not using servos are already proportional control so that isn't an advantage of a servo.
