| So I know that Clark has their Tamiya/Impact apple mount and cable set. I'm looking to make one that will be somewhat universal...  I picked up a 40x3 pin array. I plan on trying to see if I can create a universal one for both the Tamiya/Impact Apple mount as well as the HL/Taigen Apple mount. Going to look at doing this...  Which I plan to modify my 3D-printed version of this. (Tamiya TBU Base with lock section).  Any interest? |

| Whoops I have 6 & 7 Mixed up in my sketch... But it will depend on the rigidity of which side is small vs large pin on the HL Apple.

| Ingenious but why would you need Heng Long if you have Tamiya already ? |

| To market for a universal base  Some may not have Tamiya's yet... Or may only have one and want multiple tanks to run... |

| The HL/Taigen/Clark MFU boards are all JST-XH 5 pin with the same pin out.
So IBU has the same pin out with both a JST-XH (2.5mm pitch) 5 pin and a Tamiya Molex Micro-Latch (2.0mm pitch) 5 pin connector? |

| Yes. Its plug and play compatible with Heng Long IR tanks, even more so then Clark because the 8 pin plug is also plug compatible. |

| Gonna make a couple bases up maybe this weekend.. At least get the components/wiring done for it... Plan on using ABS in the 3D printer for strength. Will be my first 3D print job... IF I can get it to work |
