IBU2U (base) only one track will go forward

Post by tgr6669 »

Hi all . Juust installed my new IBU2U (base) in my tank . Went by the manual ,everything went swimmingly until I tested it out . Only one track will move forward . They will both move backwards and will super spin but only one way . Tried it in 2 different tanks (both heng long / taigen) and 2 different transmitters(hobby king 4 channel and turnigy 9x ) and recievers with the same results . Looked into the sd card and everything looks ok . What do I do ? I have already contacted the vendor waiting on a response . Thanks

Sounds like you've blown a FET. It will need returning to the seller for repair by Ivanov.

Hi Rad . Tried that , only one track worked but only reversed . I was afraid of that Tom . I bought it online and on sale from rctankelectronics thinking it was a good deal . Now I have to pay to ship it back and they will probably want me to pay to have it fixed and ship it back to me . Some savings .lol Oh well . Thanks for your help , waiting to hear back from rctankelectronics .

Be assured that Ian (Tankbear) the head honcho of www.rctankelectronics.com and valued member of this Forum will treat you as he does everyone else with fairness and a determination to fix any perceived failings on your board,
He will not make outrageous financial demands for post or repair only what a decent dealer would be expected to charge,
Why don't you talk to him?
He is helpful and will answer any questions you might have about your board.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I agree. He helped me out when I thought I had blown my board. Turns out the board was fine though and I had god wrong receiver.

That been said when I have wanted sound files that were released after I got my boards he sent me the files

What Tom said it is also possible.

After a while one fet of my IBU 2 failed and I had to send the boards for repairs.
Also a brand new IBU 3 came defective with the same problem, but it was also fixed.

Ian has contacted me . I wasn't trying to bad mouth him or the board . Was just disappointed. I am impressed by the swiftness of his response and am confident that things will go well. I thank everyone for your help. This is a good forum . Also I am impressed by the ease at which the transmitter and the receiver are programmed.
I humbly apologize if I offended anyone and look forward to using this forum again.
