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.
I have now given up with this model. Will be seeing about getting something back from Agora. I was told that they are great from a friend but not after this hassle.
This was my first and will be my last unless they complexly replace most of the wiring etc.
Thanks for your help.

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.
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.

It was my new little board that was faulty
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.

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
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 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.
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.

This was my first Agora model and was hopeful that it would not be my last. With all the trouble I have had with it the amount of over $2000.00 Australia in my opinion was not worth it. I am very disappointed in this model and only hope that if I do decide to do another model from Agora, they have done their homework.

My pack is still stuck in the UK. May have to wait until after Christmas. My camera always worked but the turret and lights never.

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.
Let us know how it goes and if it fixes all the issues.

So I've suspended my build on this since ... IDK when. I'm awaiting my final pack in the sub and hoping it will contain the mysterious 13th pack that fixes all evils.
If it does I will press on. No complaints so far other than the obvious. 🤐
Just received an email.

My patience, while great, is finite. It has now come to an end.
With a non-functional tank, no notification of a repair pack even being sent, and overall poor communication, This kills any desire for me to build another partwork kit again, which is a shame, because the Optimus Prime build looked interesting.
I'm done now, and have this $1800 CDN white elephant staring at me from the shelf.
Goodbye Agora.

I am also starting to lose my patience.
I have done a few other partworks models and have not had the same amount as trouble as this one. Have been getting emails saying that the repair park is being sent in a week then nothing. Also read somewhere that if you start this build the repair pack comes with the first pack. I would have thought that they would have sorted it out for those that have finished the model first.
Not sure what to do now as having spent over AU$2200.

Could also try a modder like partworkupgrades
Cost from them is not cheap with the freight to Australia kills getting anything. Also, the switch cost less than AUS$1.00

Very slick. You should patent it 🙂
Been over a week now and no problems with the batteries going flat. Maybe I should tell Agora about it.

I had to replace my batteries after a day or so also. I just checked them and they are dead now. Good thing I changed to rechargeable batteries.
Just finished doing a mod to the remote case and so far, the batteries have latest OK. I put in a slide switch on the side of the case and cut the red wire. One side to the common side of the switch and another piece of wire to the out of the switch them joined the outside contact to the wire that runs into the connector.

Looking forward in getting this tank finished.

Can you contact Customer services with full details of the problems. Are the drive motors working at all now? Please check that all the plugs and sockets are connected, and are the right way round. I gather you've already done that but it's worth double checking. Can you also let us know if the red LED on the remote control is on, off or flashing when both the controller and the tank are switched on.
Cheers
Mark
Hi Mark
Have contacted customer services and they have told me that they will be sending out a new circuit board and cable connection. I have checked all cables and they are the right way around. Very strange that the tank moved the first time then nothing. Camera is working.
The red light on the controller they do not know what is causing it not to come on. They have said that they will look into it. As I have told them the right light does not come on.
-
Turned on tank for the first time. Camera problem but the tank went forward and backward, and the gun fired. Nothing else worked. Just all connections and turned on again. Camera now comes on when first starting but now nothing else works.
Hope they get it right soon. Have tried re connection cables etc all I get now is camera and pairing failing. Also, seem to be getting a beeping noise from the tank. Battery is fully charged.

Agora told me it was supposed to be sent out last week, that did not happen. I read only 1 person received pack 9 and I believe he was in Australia.
That was me and I have just been told that my Pack 10 will be sent middle of next month. Not that happy with delays as by the time Pack 10 would be posted I would have paid for Pack 10 and Pack 11.

Have contacted them and have been told that they will be sending out all the replacements that I listed which was quite a few.
Hopefully this will make my model work and restore faith back to Agora.
