Overview
TK80 series controller uses 8-CH conventional PWM or 10-CH S.BUS RC system to control R/C tank's forward/backward movement, sharp turning, pivoting, turret rotation and gun barrel evaluation at variable speed
Ultrasonic ESC*3 for two track motor and turret rotation
Adjustable ESC start voltage allows you to adjust lowest speed for different track motor
Carefree reversing
Ultra Low turn-on resistance FET for track motor ESC
22KHz, 8-bit high quality sound with digital sound mixer
Maximum of 5 channel of sound track, main gun, machine gun, turret rotate, gun barrel elevation and engine sound can be generated at the same time
On-board, CLASS-D,15W+ 15Waudio amplifier with External audio input
2.0A BEC, can also be used to power 5.8G or WiFi FPV transmitter
S.Busvariant (TK80S) has EPM*4 for Left track, right track, gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2)
Traditional (TK80) variant has EPM*4 for Left track, right track, gun elevation (EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses (EPM2)
Wide operating voltage rage, from 7.2 to 12V, support 3S Li-Po battery
Support air-soft gun with sound synchronization
Support TAMIYA and HLIR battle unit and format
Support RealRecoilservo port
Support RecoilSolenoidfor 2nd Machine Gun( MG2 )
G variant Support gun barrel stabilizer
Safety shutoff prevents unwanted movement while signal lost
Auto R/C signal detection
Miniature design(92mm X 52.3mm X 20mm) for 1/25~1/16 R/C Tank
V2 Smoker driver
V2 Mixer
Remote Volume Control
Adjustable engine running state threshold
Terminology |
Ultrasonic ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic speed, make motor rotation extreme smooth and quiet. start voltage of ESC can also be adjusted for different type of motor.
Carefree reversing:Unlike some other control board, there is no need for TK series board to delay before being commanded to reverse,can go from full forward immediately to full reverse or vice versa
EPM ( ESC/PWM module)is peripheral which can be switched to ESC or PWM mode,allows the user to drive brushed motor or servo motor, in ESC mode, ESC port is enabled, can be used to drive brushed motor, In PWM mode, PWM port is enabled to driver servo motor, sound effect stopped when servo motor reach end point.
RealRecoil allows you to recreate real gun barrel recoil movement with single & cheap servo motor
RecoilSolenoid allows you to recreate MG/Auto cannon barrel recoil movement with Solenoid
V2 Smoker driver smoker fan/compressor speed is proportional to engine RPM and Load
V2 Mixer turning is achieved by reducing track speed and also increase opposite track speed to achieve smoother turning.
Remote Volume Control audio volume can be controlled by radio transmitter, only available on S.BUS version
External audio input allows you to feed audio signal from other source for 2nd speaker port ( CN5A )
HL version 6.0/6.1 tanks:
you will need some parts as HL omitted and changed the wiring harness.
1) 8p daughter board + 8p wire
2) 2p x 3 to plug into TK board for battery power, and 2 motors.
note: additional cables (CAB001) for extra functions (lights, signal lights, rotating beacon etc) are NOT included and must be purchased separately.
