I did similar with a Billy Bass Jr board, but I didnt swap the IC, I just used a wiring trick Its on my channel as "I swear this is just a regular Billy Bass"
Just took some thought. I removed the ic of the original board, and ran wires from the newer board to the pins that control the body movement. There's 3 resistors on the 15 year anniversary board, and they control the signals for the movement lol. It was pretty simple, and I'm going to put a video up soon on how I did it.
@@Liqui2 It was easy. There's a resistor for every transistor that moves a motor. I just took some wires and ran them to the original Billy Bass's IC points that make it move.
Dude that’s cool

@@SlimothyJimothy I did that exact same thing before putting in this board! Lmao! Huge sound quality difference😂
Can I use this video, I’ll credit you
@@BradenTheBeaverHTF Sure!
can't you use diodes to make a 2 motor board work with a 3 motor fish?
@@luigikoopa8771 In theory, yes. I chose to go a different route though! Lol
How did you get it to work in a 3 motor mech?

Wait... So the newer BMBB has a surface mount IC?
@@Liqui2 Yup. Surface mounted.. everything. The only thing on the bottom of the board is the plastic connectors with wires.
@@SumProject18 holy shit how did you do that??
