| Hi folks, I know some here have dealt with MatoMart.
The gentleman at tech support there said the tanks do come with an IR receiver.
I was wondering (& I forgot to ask) - if I needed to get a spare, will the Tamiya IR apple work? (the tank being equipped a Clark board) Or does it need to be a Clark or some other brand?
Also, haven't had much success finding these on the web, does anyone know of a supplier for Tamiya/Clark IR receivers?
Thinking of getting a Mato M10.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. |

| You can also get a Clark base and use a Tamiya unit if it is the Clark equipped M-10. Dean was selling some base, but you can also get it from Clark as well. |

| The one that M-10 comes with is a simple sensor on a stick. |

| Thanks for the info Mike! Good to know. It is in fact the Clark equipped M10 & MatoMart sent me a pic of the receiver that is as you described - simple sensor on a stick. Good enough for now. |

| No problem let me know if you have any specific questions. I got the Mato Clark M-10 when it first came out. Sold it to my buddy in the states but still remember bits and pieces. It comes with a nice carrying case which I kept and still use for bring radios to the field ! |

| Thanks Mike, will do! FYI I ordered the Mato Clark M-36. It was a toss up between that and the M10. Basically the same tank as you know, different turret. Thanks again. |
