[Tank not working]

Tested all the LED's and none are working. The gun barrel is now working better after taking it out and sanding down the edges. 

Have sent an email to Agora about this problem. Will wait and see what happens. Do not know how to fix the plugs that have come off after having to remove them a dozen times. Will see if I can find some micro plugs to fit.

I’m not good with the plugs but I was able to push the pins in and solder them in + you can get the plugs off the board if you are gentle with a knife and rock them up a little at a time then you can slide them back into position. I would also suggest you check the little second board that all the lights go through just in case.

Hi mate

Change the board as you did. The turret now turns but still no lights. I did do a test on all the LED's and all are faulty.

Also, one of the wires for the up and down motor has come off. Will have to repair and let you know.

Ok good to see you have made some progress, l have found that the gun barrel needs more clearance in the turret to recoil and activate the led in the barrel good luck.

I’m in Adelaide my new circuit board was faulty l used the original, so the parts l used were the new main board and new ribbon cable because the plugs are opposite to my original then plug them in and that made my head lights and turret work correctly but please check that the new little board has the plastic connector plugs in the same way round as the original . You have to be very careful when you unplug the connectors because it pulls the pins out of the circuit board, try this and let me know how you get on good luck with it  Karl 

It was my new little board that was faulty

Hi Karl

Thanks for the help. Where are you. I am in Sydney.

Have tried re connecting all the cables and checking them again.  Still at the moment trying to find out why my lights that were working are not.  Also, the motor for the turret turning is OK as tested. 

Now with removing the cables from the boards the cables are getting bad.

Hi Karl

My parts arrived today after a month. 

Installed the new parts and still no go with some of the parts. The tanks no fires, camera working but no turret turning or lights working. 

Have sent an email to them. Not very happy with the money I have spent.

Hi palian looks like you are in Australia, l am as well. I may be able to help you get your tank working, I have had all of the same issues with my tank as you have with yours and I now have all functions working, although it is very underpowered kind regards Karl 

[Tank not working]

Hi to all tank builders l have just finished fitting the pack 13 and the tank has all working functions however the tank is badly underpowered and struggles to turn on even smooth surfaces. If you run the tank without the top hull and turret it is perfect so l believe that the motors are not able to cope with the weight. Is this a common problem? I don’t know what to do about this. Any ideas.
