motor lacking power??
motor lacking power??
Hello, I recently purchased both the metal turret motor and small metal turret ring from forgebeartanks so that I could upgrade the default plastic ones in my Taigen Panther G tank. I installed the metal turret ring first and it worked perfectly well with the plastic turret motor. I then installed the metal turret motor which required some soldering BUT I have an issue. If I test the motor whilst its not attached to the turret ring it works fine BUT if I try to use it with the turret ring it acts as if it doesn't quite have the power to rotate the ring and instead makes noise but nothing else. Any suggestions?

Will the motor for the plastic unit fit into the metal unit?
If it will, it would be a good way to find out if it's the motor that's at fault.
But I would recommend taking out the motor from the metal unit first, check the pinion and then fit the metal unit without the motor to check if you have jamming or poorly meshing gears.

Hello
the dentition, shape and number of teeth are identical to the old system, check manually if everything meshes well, or if there is no problem with fixings, which can cause poor coupling of the two,
