Discharged and Full Lipo Battery

Is it something like the trim is over to one side?

Also does it make the turret rotation sound?

Tankbear,, does make the sound... is the trim? the little black nob on transmitter(duh)? O'Neal

Kaiser using the 8 pin connector down at the motherboard, I switched polarity and motor turns as it should. Everything is working except counterclockwise rotation. I will now attempt to open the MB case...

Tankbear doodled with the trim knob if it is the black one on transmitter.... no change for either direction

ONeal, there isn't much swapping out parts you can do on the Taigen MFU. If you have another unit it might be worthwhile testing it. If the Taigen MFU is defective the only real practical solution is to simply replace it. It sounds like it is the board anyway, as the rotational motor setup is pretty simple.

Another way to test this to use an ohm meter and see if there is any current coming thru at all when you try to turn counter clockwise opposite to what you would get when you run clockwise, but if the motor does turn both ways when you swap the leads that pretty well confirms it.

ok Kaiser, MichaelC took board apart nothing really jumped out at me..... did not see anything loose or burnt. I will now go out and rebind this baby!! Kaiser I must say you really go out of your way to show things. I am impressed by your presentations and am learning alot.....real quick

I am DEAD!!! Did not expect this to happen so quick after purchase. I'm thinking..... drop the barrel down low and to the side let the Tarr smoker billow in the hull and escape out the hatches and the Tiger can be semi-knocked out till I figure out what to do. Gees!!

O'Neal is "kaput"

I got it fron IMEX in Fla. late May. I sent a note to them inquiring about cost of boards? warranty? It was a "scratch n Dent" sale. Too good to pass up. All metal drive train, steel gear boxes, metal turret etc WHoah! IMEX is Taigen. I may be in luck. Went back and looked at the IBU2 board , transmitter and sounds. Perhaps this is a SIGN that I should upgrade.
