Problem with 2.4 GHz HL tank; won't 'turn on' (SOLVED)

Post by Lert »

I've bought a 2.4 GHz HL tank, a Leopard 2A6. When I try to run it, the following happens:

- I turn on the TX. Light comes on.
- I turn on the tank. Headlights start flashing.
- I press the key button on the remote, nothing happens.

Is this something the 2.4 GHz system does when there's not enough power in the battery in the tank? Would charging the battery help? Is this a case of somehow 'binding' the TX to the RX, and how would I go about doing that? Or is this simply a case of 'tank borked, contact store'?

Hey Lert...did you bind the TX to the RX...if not...open the tank off...on the RX where the antenna would usually hook into...there is a couple of blue wires...on the end is a button ...press that and the start button on the TX to bind...after that press the start button alone...it should start after that ;)

Ah, that did it. It was option 'B', bind the TX to the RX.

Thanks!
