Electrical fault

Post by Topper »

Hello
I put a V3 in the Taigen kit Tiger 1, everything works but the recoil, when I turn the tank on with the controller it fires on its own once but will not fire again when I use the controller, if I disconnect the plug with the red and black wires, it fires,I have taken the turret apart but everything looks fine,
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Frank

Good evening, unless I'm mistaken? in view of the photo, it is an Asiatam system? if the red wire caske is a minus (Chinese logic) and must be connected at least from the inter general.

this red thread comes out of the Asiatam mechanism? then it must actually be connected at least from the inter general

it also depends on the type of plate, see photo below, the 1 st must be connected to the least and the 2 nd it is already equipped to connect it

the red wire from the recoil unit (circled by jofaur) plugs into the red wire on the mfu this is an earth wire that provides a negative contact to the motor so it can return to the firing state

I connected the wires, no joy,I think the kit has older wiring and is not designed for the V3

check the wiring on your tank especially from the upper hull daughter board

Also check the on/off switch under the loaders hatch is on and the wires are connect to it
from reading your 1st post it sounds like the unit is in the recoil position which is setting off the micro switch red and black wires on the 2 pin plug so as soon as you switch the tank on you get cannon fire sound. it could be that there is no power going to the recoil motor which should push the barrel out.
