My TCB project
« on: July 11, 2017, 12:15:31 PM »
I have been wanting to try the TCB for some time now and the time has come! For it is available right now.

I'll be using my Torro JagdTiger project as a temporary place for the TCB, as I intend to use it in my upcoming Panther II tank.
JagdTiger is fitted with metal wheels, sprocket, idler etc., plastic HL King Tiger tracks, a 15W Visaton speaker with enclosure from Rctank.de and the DKLM RC Propulsion Dynamics Steel Gearbox (PDSGB). This allows me to test a few things, as my Panther II will have similar setup.

Items used:
-FlySky FS-i6S TX with FS-iA10B RX (S-Bus mode) [Have item already]
-6 Cell NiMh Battery (Between 3000 and 5000 mAh of capacity) [Have item already]
-Open Panzer Tank Control Board [Ordered]
-2x X-Car 45A Brushed ESC [Ordered]
-DKLM RC PDSGB [Have item already]
-Benedini TBS Mini [Have item already]
-15W TDA7297 amplifier for Benedini TBS Mini [Have item already]
-15W Visaton speaker with enclosure from Rctank.de [Have item already]
-Taigen Battle Unit [Have item already]
-Hit leds for Taigen Battle Unit [Have item already]
-High Power IR led [Have item already]
-Various leds for MG, lights etc. [Have items already]
-Taigen High Intensity Flash Unit or a Flash led (Depending on whichever I like the most) [Have items already]
-2x TowerPro MG995 Servo's for Recoil and Elevation [Have items already]

Currently waiting on the TCB and ESC to arrive before I can start.

My TCB and ESCs arrived today! I have to say the packaging of the TCB is quite nice.

I'll first have to update my Benedini TBS mini with the new software and then I can start tinkering!

hi, how it goes?

I am building a 1/16 full metal Panther F, with dual clutches gearbox.  I haven't read anything regarding the support for such type of gearbox in the Wiki section.

please let us know.

thanks

Larry

Hi Larry, if you can provide more information about your gearboxes I may be able to tell you if they will work. The gearbox that Code501 used is the DKLM RC PDSGB which is compatible, but it sounds like you might have something different.

Hi, Lukez

I think they are the same, just like the one in Tamiya's 1/16 M1a2, Type10. One motor for forward/reverse, one for direction.


cheers

Hi,
first: this isn´t a dual clutch Gearbox! I is a propulsion dynamics gearbox.
One Motor is for driving the other motor is for steering:

The TCB work without any problems - if the Motors connected in right direction to the ESC´s

Hi, Jhamm

thanks for the correction.  Now I know the proper English translation for it.

By the way,   is there a setting in the TCB?  The ESC I'd like to place should be a Sabertooth.

thanks

Larry

Ok, you are using the DKLM gearbox. The TCB is compatible. On the Motors tab under Vehicle Type there is an option specifically for this gearbox, select
= "Tank (single drive motor + steering motor, eg DKLM)"

If you want to use a Sabertooth that is also not a problem, just select Sabertooth ESC for the Drive Motors.
