light wiring?

Post by michelekingtiger »

was driving my tiger around a bit earlier and noticed something about the lights, the headlights only go on when you drive frowards, but the bb warning light and LED machine gun turn on when the tank reverses or turns left or right. is this normal? my old tiger the head lights would turn on when the tank was switched on, does anyone know how to wire it to do that?

That's a new one on me - never heard of that happening before.  Is everything else working properly?  Good luck!  Maybe this diagram will help.

How strange is that?? The motor circuits are seperate from the lighting/turret circuits.

First thing - are you turning the tx on before the tank?
Second - Check the 8 pin plug is properly seated.
Third - Check that no wires have got caught in the gears, thus shorting them out when the right stick is moved.

A few close up pics from inisde the hull would be a great help.
