It IS possible to have the recoil action and the smoke and flashing barrel. We did it tonight to my Heng Long M4 Sherman. Its a bit of a pain but its worth it if you want total realism. We removed the recoil barrel from the turret and disassembled the actual internal recoil unit to remove the inner gun tube barrel and the large ring that it set in as neither is needed if you are going to remove the BB capability anyway. We then removed the inner recoil mechanism and cut off the portion that you can see move back and forth when you fire the gun. This creates a nice large opening that we fed the light wire and the smoke tube nearly all the way to the end of the barrel. Then we reassembled everything. Make sure you test it at each step of the way to make sure you still have functionality once its fully reassembled. It is so much cooler now that it has the recoil, flash, and smoke!!! The Sherman never did fire the BBs all that well anyway. At least not compared with my Tiger 1 and M26 Pershing. The longer barrel models work much better for the BBs. Good luck!
Also! Make sure to remove the channel that the BBs travel down from the turret hatch. Its no longer needed and you will have to snap it off anyway to get everything apart. Its just hot glued in.
Thanks for your video. I was about to want to upgrade my Tk-7.0 Walker Bulldog 3839 until you said either flashing LED or BB's but not both. Whoa! I guess I'll wait for Heng Long to design a new version that will have both options built-in. Thanks for your detailed video, though. Keep up the great woth on these RC mods.
I would like to purchase this for my tank, but the barrel/mantlet/airsoft unit doesn’t have that port on the side where you hook in the tube from the smoke generator. I have a Henglong Abrams Professional. Is this port something you all did yourselves, or is it included in certain models of tanks only?
U remove the barrel there's a plastic part behind it. Remove the plastic piece then fit the tube into the metal part that the barrel attaches to. Now U can fit the hose where the bb's would feed into the barrel. Remove the tray were the bb's would slide down into the barrel. Remove that cover, fit the hose under the tray Dremel out a small hole for the hose to come out an attach to the smoker tank. U should know the rest.
When you turn the unit of by G+S functions does it still heat the unit or does it completely kill power to the unit I ask if a on off switch is needed to shut off heating element?
Did you also have issues with new Heng Long rc tanks speakers my Jagdpanther tank speaker start to make scratching noises now it stop working I dit find a rc speaker on line for good price hope it will not do a same
I am having a problem,i am useing 7.0 system i can get flash and smoke ,but not barrel recoil, flash and smoke. what am i doing wroung barrel recoil from fireing bb gun .
@@jcharlton2078 is the wires connections tight? Try to full charge the tank battery, also can try with another phone, happened some phone even not connect singnal
@@kennethrich2107 hey Kenneth, have you ever set up the tank to use this system and bbs like the top cannon? My friends and I are big airsofters as well as new tankers. I have this kit and must figure out a way to make them all work together 😁. Thank you for your time!
Getting your barrel to smoke WITH BB shooting can be done, but the smoke output will be very negligible if any at all. The smoke pulse is very short from the system, so thats why a tube is ran down the barrel stopping just shy of the muzzle. Of course you cant have a tube in the barrel and expect to fire a BB down it.@@Schultz98

Can i have BB and smoke? i don't need flash but smoke after BB would be cool. This mod will work on TK-7.0 or i need to upgrade to 7,1?
Ok, I want to see how much smoke comes out of the barrel with that brass fitting drilled into the side of the breech on the second barrel you showed.
It is possible to use a recoil barrel on a 7.0 controller?
I tried to drill the hole on my KV where you show it on the Tiger but it hit the metal barrel. Where to drill the hole so I can still shoot BB?
I see on the 6.1 main board of henglong main board manual channel 14 for cannon stabilizer, do you sell a stabilization kit for the 6.1 main board
Lets say I wanted to use this and the HengLong Recoil barrel for the Tiger 1 at the same time, is that possible to do?
Really want to know the answer to that too.

Hi. Is it possible to have fpv and barrell smoke/flash on the same model? I.e. can you run the FPV off another port other than CN5?
Yes can, FPV only need a around 5V power supply to make it work
@@toucanhobby2400 Thanks. The WiFi signal keeps cutting out after connecting to my phone. Any idea why this might be?
@@jcharlton2078 is the wires connections tight? Try to full charge the tank battery, also can try with another phone, happened some phone even not connect singnal
Works this with tk 6.0s ?
No it doesn't I just tried with 6.0 jagdpanther
Confusing wiring. Poor camera work on the wiring of the components.
Its not that hard Bob. Hit me up if you need help-I've done several conversions.
