Taigen has the specific Sherman sound box for V2/V3 tanks, is it possible to change the sound box on this tank?

I dont know if its just the cheap speaker, or what, but NONE of the tanks ive seen on any channel sound good. Except from i think it was MaxPowers channel? And it was an older video.

@oddball759mm 3 жыл бұрын

the speakers are not dolby by any means, but the poor audio you hear has more to do with the cheap built in mics we are all using on our cameras. In person the sound is better than you hear in the videos

@MichalKaczorowski 3 жыл бұрын

Stock Taigen and Heng Long boards sounds are generic and no so realistic. If you want better quality you have to install aftermarket boards like elmod, Clark, IBU, Beier, Benedini etc. and better speaker. Plus proper radio and receiver.

Some things are better some are not. I still dont like the look of the tracks. The real tanks dont look like they do.

@oddball759mm Жыл бұрын

ok but I do like the look of the T49 tracks which was why I used them and they look just like the real T49 track link I have in my collection so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
