Orange arrows point to areas that needed to be trimmed after removing the Heng Long lower plate and replacing it with the Trumpeter plate. Tracks will eventually be changed for the older RMsh track style from Attracks.

There were three mounting points that looked like a Heng Long rotation motor would fit, but that wasn't the case. I had to cut two of them off and relocate them a little to the left (green arrows). Had to trim all the areas pointed out in yellow. Got the new adjustable idler/brace installed from RC Tank Legion. Also thinned the front glacis plate along the purple line to make room for the idler brace. I cut some styrene disks and glued them around the relocated posts to give them more stability.

Removed the Trumpeter speaker mount as it will not be used (blue lines). The turret ring is the one that comes with the Trumpeter kit and it has the same gear profile of a Heng Long rotation unit.

Removed and relocated the back of the turret. It works better because the boxes on the turret mount to both the upper and lower turret pieces. Now they only mount to the upper part which allows the turret to be opened up for maintenance.

Just a couple of comparison shots of the Trumpeter (left) and the HL (right).

You can see the brass stand offs as I used the same method on the turret.

Jarlath compact recoil system installed to replace the Asiatam recoil/elevation. I never got it working with the Clark board so I replaced it. Not a real fan of those units anyway.

Lower hull internals. I have built a custom speaker box now and installed a Visaton FRS7S speaker as the TK-50 blew out the Taigen speaker shown here. I guess the extra amps from the TK-50 were too much for the little 3W Taigen.
