The manufacture offerers a 45 deg sunshade that mimics the 45 deg hit angles of the Tamiya IR receiver. **The receiver has four IR receiver bulbs so by design it is able to receive hits from 360 degs. *The range for taking hits from stock HL and Tamiya IR bulbs has been hugely increased to 75+ feet in noonday lighting with the sunshade attached. Ok you saw the *limited range and **limited angles of hits. It is definitely worth the effort though for these folks. This is not hard, but might be a little challenging for someone with limited r/c or modeling experience. So a new IR port 5 pin female plug must be installed along with the wiring. The stock port uses a three pin male plug and the new receiver uses a 5 pin male plug. The one big draw back is this receiver is not 100% plug and play with the stock HL 6.0 tanks IR receiver port. It should be noted that the new IR receiver is HL specific and not universal with the companies other IR receiver for Tamiya, Clark and IBU. It was reworked by the manufacture with a few changes that now make it compatible with the 6.0 HL system. The base receiver is not new it has been available for some time now for Tamiya, Clark and IBU systems and has a proven track record. The issues of number of hits, rate of fire and damage still exist as these are 6.0 system based, but they can be overcome with some adherences to the suggestions for rule sets I wrote about in the "Heng Long 6.0 Battle System reveiw" thread mentioned above. The new IR receiver is also rather small with a low profile and far more appealing to look at then a Tamiya IR receiver. No longer is there an issues with bright noonday sunlight, delays in hits being read, *limited range, **limited angles of hits, or lack of a "lighted" visual hit indication(now has 4 blue or red LEDs). It is now much closer to the feel of battling a Tamiya, Clark or IBU equipped tank.
Well finally I found one and it works so well it changes the entire feel of battling 6.0 HL tanks. It will help you understand the issues this new receiver solves.įor some time now I have been testing numerous aftermarket IR receivers that might be used to replace the poor performing stock HL one. Before you read this short thread please take a look at the thread entitled "Heng Long 6.0 Battle System review".
