tagien recoil turret and rx18 no firing/recoil

[spongehoobtank82]

Now I've wired one of these before ( to an IBU2) the problem with this one is I've wired everything up to the rx18, it rotated fine the only on thing was the elevation worked when I pushed up our down and no recoil/flash, now the really strange thing was that when I connected the negative wire from the taigen turret to the battery the elevation just continuously runs until I disconnect the negative, and no recoil/ flash still when I try the Tx! Any ideas? The board on the upper hull its running through is the 8pin with a 2pin and 3pin connection on also, am guessing the problem may lie there as that's the only real difference!

Is it a recoil you've fitted or come complete in a turret?

If it came in the turret have you turned the red switch on?

If it came just the recoil, if i remember correctly there are 2 short wires coming off the motors (or somewhere there) these go to the switch or can be simply joined together.

Hope that helps.

Hey tank bear, yeah the switch was on, although it stops constantly running the elevation motor when I switch it off, I just don't see how the elevation could be connected too the recoil/earth its really annoying!

Hi Sponge

Did you get this sorted? Did you hook up the thick red wire to your negative battery lead?
