upgraded HL tiger 1 to 2.4
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2019 5:34 pm
Just upgraded my HL tiger 1 to the latest 2.4ghz with the TK-6.0.
first thing none of the wiring plugs match!! so chopped all the wires off and started fresh. I have the tank moving backwards and forwards but steering is in reverse!! push stick left = tank turns right!! and vice versa. Anyone know why or how to swap the stick to steer correctly?
I also realised that the original airsoft gun doesn't work as the wiring is all to cock, so I've ordered a new airsoft gun with the correct connectors. One thing i did find is that the tank would run ok then just cut out, having to restart and drive off again. This got worse and worse, so seeing as the new TK unit will work from 7.4-12volts i decided to fit a 3 cell 11v lipo battery, and its cured it, the tank doesn't stop no matter how much i run it, however the tank now does 90mph!!!! until i found how to adjust the TK unit to accept the 7.4v input. You press the G button and pull the right stick down this puts the tank in 7.4v mode, the tank runs at the correct speed, press G and right stick up, 12v mode. I thought id better stick to 7.4 mode as it would probably burn out the motors.
the only problem i have is the steer left / right stick is the wrong way round, if anyone can tell me how to swap them over, that would be great, Oh and I've had the transmitter in bits, you can't swap the switches round, all soldered to the board.
