Gremlins in the House

Post by silversurfer1947 »

Can someone with greater knowledge and perception than I please explain how I can put tanks away after a meeting in fully working condition and, despite fitting a fully charged battery, when I test them prior to the next meeting, they have developed faults? Not one but 3 tanks. >:<

I can sense the frustration but our crystal balls are being serviced. If you would care to describe what the faults are I'm sure someone here will have a go! ;)

If you find out let me know! This is an affliction I have suffered in the past on more than one occasion.

I’m familiar with this too. My airsoft unit went that way. Was working fine when I put the tank on the shelf. Was dead next time I took it. I guess the gremlin comes from China. Elmod never did anything like that.

I think at least one of my gremlins is German. My Torro M16 with Elmod board has lost all sound!

German gremlins aren’t as tough. Reformat the sd card and write their latest sounds, then run the exe file on the root and select the right sound. The gremlin most probably will not stand this exercise.
