Did you end up sanding the tires? How did they look?

Has this forum been removed from the Leopard directory? I couldn't find it in the Forums list.

I did receive my, "Certificate of Authenticity!". #24!

Today I finally got around to trying to start troubleshooting my tank - agian. After getting new replacement gun thing, I still have no camera. I tried to swap out P and Q to no avail, restarted both the tank and controller in seperate orders, no luck. When swapping P and Q, I didn't get any new camera result, but hte turret motor did start spinning. What does this motor do (Q)?

Yes, that was kinda uncommon. Thanksfully I had enough track pieces though that I didn't have to use them.

Do you mean the little eye hooks? I had three sets sent to me from Agora, and every time they weren't packed right to NOT break. I just gave up on them.

Camera STILL doesn't work (no signal.) Sound board appears to only be able to play one sound at a time - so the engine is, 'off' when the tank fires. Lights are brighter now. Gun barrel does go up and down now. Turret rotation does not work, but I don't have all of the screws in so that might be the issue there. Figured why @#$% bother if the camera still doesn't work and I'm going to have to re-solder the wires to the side of the turret and to the back three prong exposed copper things. I have a few wires that have pulled from their connections on the turret, no doubt thanks to repeatedly having tot assemble/dissasemble the tank. I do not have any vape fluid in, but I do hear the exhaust motors turning. Tank does now turn and move, for about five minutes before the battery is depleted. Doesn't seem to have enough power to turn effectively on carpet. I'm pretty disgusted that the camera - the main selling point for me - is still inoperable. It might be because of a few wires not being. connected, but that's shoddy programming/design on someone's part. Overall for the price point, I'm still quite unsatisfied. Hope you all have better luck.

So far so good. I installed hte black CPU on the bottom, and now both drive motors work again. Hopefully I can get into the damned turret today.

My kit gets delivered today. I'm pretty excited to see how it works, and to see how the rest of you guys's tanks turn out.

I'd love to find the switch panel decals. Can you please supply a link?

Hatchette Partworks has a Disney Dollhouse that looks AMAZING. Could be a licensing nightmare in the states though. I tried to talk them into letting me get a subscription (would be amazing on display at the children's hospital I program for.) Here's an example: https://hachettepartworks.com/en-en/disney-dolls-house/disney-dolls-house-49/

I think from my limited testing that this may correct a great number of inherent flaws in the parts. I do think one of my main drive motors is bad, though - I've swapped it out on the PCB to verify it does work when switched. If there's anything I've learned in my career as a software programmer though - is that I'm more often wrong than right 🙂 Can't say I'm looking forward to tearing down and replacing springs in the turret - God knows I've taken that bottom plastic plate on and off more times than I should have already. But thanks, Agora.

Are they proactively sending out replacement circuit boards/motors to everyone? I have a pending email to respond to, they have asked me to verify some pretty basic stuff that I knew enough to do, but figured I'd reply with pictures/video in case that helped.

I don't think anyone has a working tank yet, and that we were given electronics and circuits that are obviously faulty.

@Joep one of my drive motors has failed as well!
