Subject: Elmod Fusion ECO in my Taigen KV-1E Tue Jan 16, 2018 10:17 pm
Just wanted to share my latest tank/board combo (Christmas present for me ). No smoke is coming out because i forgot to refill my Tarr Smoke unit
Loving the Elmod board even though its a hell of a lot more than a clark or IBU board its just better IMO and i will most likely be switching over to Elmod for a good chunk of my tanks. Its running DKLM's gearbox which is probably the best gearboxes I've used straight running with no variation in track speed and has a dedicated motor for turning left or right, also has great pulling power.
You'll notice around the middle of the video that a firefight starts, this is coming out of the Elmod and its ambient noise that I downloaded and the loaded into the Elmod SD card so now when I'm driving around its sounds like a battle is going on and you can turn them on or off via the transmitter as you've seen. I've got 3 ambient WW2 battles loaded in there and they're randomized so its never the same.
It's super cramped in the hull I know, but the upper hull fits and the turret turns without any problems. This thing still weighs less then my Tiger H1 LOL
Yea thats War Thunder in the background in case anyone was wondering haha!

I did not see a high intensity flash in the barrel recoil. Did I miss it? Or IR emitter there?

There is a flash but not very bright. Might just be the angle...

The flash is brighter in person and it's a high intensity one that comes stock with IR tanks from Taigen.

$250 Cad for the base version and the measurements are 9.4mmx5.6mmx2.2mm or its a bit smaller then the IBU2U lol
That's about same price as IBU3, a little more than an IBU2U. It has a PC interface as well, right ?

Yep comes with a USB slot/adapter and has its own dedicated program so you can customize virtually all parameters of your tank and you can save each profile in case you want to use the board in another tank. Also has a Bluetooth option so you can program the tank without having it hooked up to your computer.
