TK50 ESP series RC tank Gaming Controller
World's First integrated RC tank controller with Ultrasonic ESC
THIS IS NOT 100% PLUG AND PLAY BOARD, SIMPLE CHANGE IS NEEDED FOR FULL OPTIONS
(specifications and design are subject to change without notice)
Overview
TK50 series controller is the successor of successful TK50 controller, uses 4-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
Carefree reversing
Ultra Low turn-on resistance FET for track motor ESC
Support Gun Barrel Stabilizer ( G2 Variant )
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
7W sound output power, 8/4-Ohm Speaker is recommended
0.8A BEC
EPM*2 for gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2)
Wide operating voltage rage, from 7.2 to 12V, support 3S Li-Po battery

Support RealRecoil servo port
Support Recoil Solenoid for 2nd Machine Gun( MG2 )
G variant Support gun barrel stabilizer
Safety shutoff prevents unwanted movement while signal lost
Miniature design(60mm X 50mm X 20mm) for 1/25~1/16 R/C Tank
V2 Engine Sound Simulation
V2 Smoker driver
Adjustable Low Battery threshold
Adjustable ESC start voltage
Extend sound effect ( for E variant )
Terminology
Ultrasonic ESC is the ESC block which switch FET at ultrasonic speed, make motor rotation extreme smooth and quite. start voltage of ESC can also be adjusted for different type of motor.
Adjustable ESC start voltage: offset can be added to ESC input vs. output curve to meet the characteristic 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, TK50 has 2 EPMs for gun elevation(EPM1) and turret rotation/gun traverses(EPM2),
EPM No. | ESC/Ultrasonic ESC port | PWM port |
EPM1 | 5th and 6th Pin of CN9 | J4 |
EPM2 | 7th and 8th Pin of CN9 Note:ESC in EPM2 is Ultrasonic ESC | J5 |
RealRecoil allows you to recreate real gun barrel recoil movement with single & cheap servo motor
Recoil Solenoid 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.
Adjustable Low Battery threshold cut off ESC output when battery voltage is lower than threshold, and threshold can be adjusted according to type and cells
Extend sound effect ( for E variant ) allows you to play 8 audio/music/voice
Momentum Effect to simulate inertia of tank hull movement

..... | Refer to TK Sound Pack webpage for more information HL version 6.0/6.1 7.0/7.1 tanks: PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR TANK SOUNDSET IN YOUR ORDER NOTES |
you will need the FlySky FSi6S radio (S-bus) this comes with a 6 channel receiver, works perfectly with the TK50S, TK80S etc.
if you have this exact radio, just get a 6 channel iA6B receiver.
