Good, but I have only 3 wires.
Where do I lead the fourth?
There is a red, one black cable, the cannon movement.
Airsoft needs a white and a red cable.
But I have a white cable.
Where to solder red cable?
Can you draw or photograph?

I have a better idea. You take photographs, post them on the forum, so that we can see what you are describing. We have no idea which wires you are referring to, or what they are connected to.

The only way to get things working is to wire the tank the way that is shown on the link above. Each wire goes to a plug, and the plugs go into the socket on the underside of the hull. You cannot use the old socket, you have to buy the new one, they look the same but they are different.

Is this a new socket?
Because I ordered this.

Yep. That's the one.

the three pin at the end should go to the machine-gun led. In my T90 the machine gun led wiring was soldered to the outer pins of the 3-pin connector, on the back of the little board. The middle pin is not used. I think it can be used for a second machine gun, or an ir flasher. Not sure.

The middle 2-pin connects to the turret rotation, the 2-pin one next to the 3-pin goes to the airsoft motor, and the outermost of the 2-pins connector takes the gun-elevation plug.

If all's correct, You're left with just the big' colourful flatcable and the gun trigger-switch cable going from the turret to the controller. The wire from the micro switch on the airsoft unit goes to socket CN3 MG fire, and needs to be plugged into the most right two pins of the5-pin CN3, otherwise no shootie bang bang.. :haha:

New HL 8-9 pin connector
New HL 8-9 pin connector
Just to add a little extra detail to Wibb's link, this is the new 9 pin connector with named connection points. Hope it helps. Personally, I just map out the traces of the circuit boards, and their connectors, with appropriately coloured pencils and a sheet of paper. It helps to work out which wire is going where, and though which connection junction. :think:

It looks a bit like an ASP board with separate sockets instead of the old intergrated 8 pin socket.

Odd.. On the KingTiger with the 4th gen controller, the middle 2-pin connects to the turret rotation.

A 4th generation socket came in.
There is still no gunshot sound.
4th generation control wire assignment is different than picture sent wibblywobbly.
I have a 4th generation controller, as shown in the picture:
White, green wire = lighting
Black, red wire = tube moves down, up.
Blue, yellow wire = tower movement right, left.
Orange, brown = I do not know.
I show the wiring of wires to the 4th Generation Controller and the 4th Generation socket. What do I do in the triple connector?
A red wire stayed.
How can I operate a gunshot sound?

The micro switch on the back of the gun is missing. I doubt You can get a main gun "boom" without that. Or, if the microswitch sits at the side of the gun. If so, the following goes:

The 2 wires from the microswitch go directly into the Ch3 "mg" port on the controller. They don't use the connection block thingy.

By the by, the triple socket's outer 2 pins are for a machinegun.
