I gutted the electronics out of my Sherman and installed an SLU with "Maple Leaf Forever" song track.
The install went perfect and easily. The motor control is much better now. It has slowed down a bit, but I can now control the tank at top speed.
Now all those embarrassing defeats of this year can be over. Catharine will rule the battlefield once again!!!
Very Nice!

That sounds great.
However, replacing the Tamiya electronics might get you court marshalled on "the other forum" (I think its great)

I think we can special order one for you. We can exchange units and sell the one you have now.

Mr SLU programs the song into the unit himself. I'd love to have that ability, but I doubt he would share his secrets.
Oh, and I sold the Old Tamiya electronics for $120 on RCU.
Oh, and I know what my halloween costume will be this year. Thanks.
