RC Technicals in IR Battles

Background:

This is a bit off topic for the whole rc tank stuff but I’ve been thinking about this concept for a while. Our RC tank group has been recently getting into a more modern era of tank battles. Up till now, we’ve only been focused on WWII simulated battles which was a pretty even playing ground for axis and allied powers. However this isn’t the case for modern combat as we have a ton of nato tanks and only one possible opposition (T-90). Ofc it wouldn’t rlly matter much but it would be cool to have a more realistic approach. This along with the fact that I think it’d be a funny idea got me to the concept of RC TECHNICAL TRUCKS fit with the henglong IR battling system.

My problem:

I’m rather new to rc as a whole but I have a three of these rc trucks, one of which already has a technical model. And the other two I’m thinking of converting them to technicals as seen on the reference photos. I can get the servos hooked up for the bigger trucks no problem but the issue of IR persists. I’m wondering if there is a compact battling system I can utilize in order to make these technicals compatible to our tanks’ systems. If I have to use a henglong board, I wonder if it’s possible to hook the motors and servos of the truck into the board.

Any suggestions would be helpful, remember that this is a concept and not an on going project.

Type 59 RC Tank

I’ve seen videos of this RTR Type 59. It’s allegedly from a company called Hu Bugubi. At first I thought it was the Hoover T 55 kit until I saw a video of its unboxing. Can anyone help me find the source for this tank? I’m thinking of picking one up myself.

I’m curious to see if anyone got the Matilda yet

Heard that the Matilda is a new addition. If anyone has it, I’d be happy to read an in depth review about it. Depending on how it is, I may consider getting one myself.
