How to hook up this machine gun? & Henntec Question!

[Marc780]

Can please someone give me advice on how this hooks up. I bought from artistic hobbies and it came in 4 days flat. It is only two wires, has an LED and i do not have the slightest idea where and how to install it. Obviously it must be supposed to fire, when the sound from the transmitter to speaker makes the mg sound (that sound function works on my tank just no mg hooked to it)...help please?



Also...after forever having the inside teeth of the tracks jump off out of place in the rear idler wheels, of my king tiger-with the plastic tracks and now the metal ones too-I sent away for the Henntec kit. I have searched this site and everything else i could find about installing them and there isn't much information and instruction posts.


I did my Asiatam tensioners install for my Tiger 1, without a hitch, thanks to a great post i found here-but there is not a post anything like this for the Henntec. You drill a 13 mm hole? Hull spacers? All the instructions i've seen have been written only... I believe i can do it but i can't get a visual on what it is i am doing to the hull...any pictures, advice, instructions, anyone has would be very appreciated!!!

Is the existing mg still installed? If so just use those wires, if bo till try and get a picture of where to connect later.

Marc, good morning,
Show us a picture of the underside of your upper hull and we can assist. Couple of different ways that the MG hooks up so we need to see how your wiring is laid out.

Painless its an HL airsoft King tiger hull-there's no hookup for the Machine gun at all. The hull MG is just static. Does it hook up to the turret wiring?
Will post a photo of it later today...in the meantime regarding the Henntec- i partly answered my own question- i found this post on another site, its from Guido Henn who invented the device..his post has good pictures but only half way answers,.but in the meantime ANY other tips on how to install this contraption i would like to hear if someone feels like answering.

For anybody wanting to order Henntec systems, I had no luck ordering from ETO armor, the gentleman that makes the orders is not returning his order requests. On two occasions in one week it says "we will get back to your email with order information and for payment" but nothing comes in the email...the gentleman from ETO armor and I several months ago had a friendly conversation via email, he lives in Ukraine or Russia and sells the tank items somehow, arbitrage type deal i guess, and I'm guessing the political issues there trump everything else...at least he has the decency to not take your money if not able to fill the order! Anyway it seems Tank zone is the only one in the world who has the Henntec for HL king tiger, it cost me $72.

Marc,
My Airsoft HL King Tiger has a functioning bow MG. Does your tank have an eight pin board up front on the upper hull that the cable from the RX plugs into and the three pin plug from the turret? If so, this picture will be of use to you. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.p ... opic=69131 Note where the MG wires solder on the hull eight pin board ( you are looking at the bottom of the board in the illustration )

Marc,
These were the instructions I got with my idler tensioner years ago from the great Phil Pflueger's site. Try not to laugh too hard since I translated them with Google:
Entfernn sie den anguss des leitrades

Remove the dead head of the Idler


Stecken sie den Exenter in die alte Bohrung. drehen ihn aud den kopf und zeichnen sie die Bohrung an. Bohren sie ein13mm grobes Loch fur dieSpannbuchse.

Are they to the Exenter into the old drilling. turn it aud the head and mark they the drilling. Bore they ein13mm rough hole fur those clamping chuck.


Spannbuchse einfuhren and Borlocher fur die Befestigungsschrauben anzeichnen. 2x 3mm Locher bohren.

And boron punches brought clamping chuck in fur the fixing bolts mark. 2x 3mm punch bore


Spannbuchse in der Wanne verschrauben, Messingwelle und Exenter einfuhren, Messingwelle auf einer Seite mit dem stellring sichern.Das dient zur Abstutzung der Wanne.


I think I have a picture of the idler installed on the King Tiger:

Painless I've been trying to help him with his headlight issue he's been having and I think his tank doesn't have the little board and plugs on the upper hull, no offence Marc, I believe he his a most basic of basic tanks there is with no add on or frills of ANY kind. I don't think he even has a smoker unit tho I could be wrong.

Hey Marc check out the link Painless provided it shows the wiring diagram and how it should be inside your KT! Good find Painless!

Jack,
Thanks! I'd like to see Marc up and running since tanks are supposed to be about fun somewhere in the equation. ;o)
