-The TCB is compatible with Taigen/Asiatam mechanical recoil units, but they first need to be re-wired. All you will need is a soldering iron, the plug that comes with the unit can still be used and will plug directly into the TCBbut the order of the wires needs to be changed +The TCB is compatible with Taigen/Asiatam mechanical recoil units, but they must be re-wired. This requires some very simple soldering. You can still use the same 3-pin plug that comes with the recoil unit, so no extra parts are required. After the modification is done, the unit plugs into the RECOIL port on the TCB
  
 +For correct operation, make sure you select **Mechanical Recoil** as the **Mechanical Barrel** type on the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:motors#mechanical_barrel|Motors tab]] of OP Config (as opposed to the other option which is Airsoft).
