New taigen recoil turret

[Teo64]

Teo,
Good Luck with this one then. Plugged in correctly with all connections solid, there should not be any dimmed lights or low engine volume issues with the turret swap out. No added resistors should be required with this set up. I did not see where you had added any additional lighting or accessories that would do a current draw on your RX-18. Back to batteries?
regards,
Painless

I haven't added additional lighting or electrical accessories.

Tomorrow I will test with a full battery and will see .

Thank you Painless

Notice, yesterday I made another work on wires. I made a new welding of the wire on/off switch of the tank using this scheme (see the picture, from rctankaustralia.com)

Teo,

For the main switch wiring you definitely need the same gauge wires and nothing skinny. Otherwise it won't bring enough juice to everything on the RX-18. There might not be enough power going to the rest of the tank. The high intensity flash also needs to build up the charge in order to flash properly.

Still think it is battery/power related.

hi guys have had a message from dave at forgebear it needs the green wire in 5 pin with 3 wires for cn3 moved 1 place over so it ends up 5pin 3wires orange then yellow then a space, then green then a space will try it then let him know how I get on , iff using the taigen 2.4 ghz then the green dose not need moveing only move it iff using the H/L 2.4ghz mfu. tanker 242.
