Re: HL to Taigen swap
Hello
I mustn’t be awake ? Because I don’t undesrtand the meaning of the meaning of the question??what would be good is to have photos of the existing one and the replacement, would be easier to understand ( personal opinion ) on the current photos not easy to see

Re: HL to Taigen swap
The top picture is of the original unit showing all connections and are numbered. The bottom pic is of the new unit, i need to know where the wires from the top unit are fitted to the bottom unit. I thought it was easy to understand.Jofaur86 wrote:Hello

Re: HL to Taigen swap
Nothing from the tk6.0 will plug into the taigen board everything is wired differently so your tank will require a complete rewire.
Re: HL to Taigen swap
Hi John, yeah I know that, I have ordered a lead set and I'm getting my head round it but the smoke unit and Bb system are foxing me. The HL smoke unit uses 4 wires but the Taigen system only uses 2 so I'm thinking the smoke unit needs to be changed. The BB system on the HL has 2 trigger wires and 2 launch wires but the taigen only shows 2 pinsjohn1970 wrote:Nothing from the tk6.0 will plug into the taigen board everything is wired differently so your tank will require a complete rewire.

John answer elsewhere,not always so simple or plug and play wath if a member takes the time to respond,and they don’t understand don’t blame him
Re: HL to Taigen swap
Do you have a soldering iron because you will need it.
change the smoke unit to a taigen 1
the BB gun and elevation share the same live wire on the taigen so has a 3 pin plug for both which plugs into the 8 pin board connected to the upper hull. while the heng long has them separate so the elevation can go in 2 directions instead of cycling through.
do you have this piece or similar if not you will need it

Re: HL to Taigen swap
Normal,one is standard ( 2 wires) the other is proportional ( so 4 wires )mike57 wrote:Hi John, yeah I know that, I have ordered a lead set and I'm getting my head round it but the smoke unit and Bb system are foxing me.

If I can give any advice ? It’s to browse the many posts on this forum,to learn a little more about tanks
Re: HL to Taigen swap
Hi, I have a soldering iron! I got the Taigen setup from Forgebear, it was Dave that recommended it to me, he did say I'll have to do some rewiring but didn't mention any extra leads I'd need. I've ordered a lead set but not the one you have shown, I'll order that and a smoke unit today. Am thinking this was too big of a job for me, and it doesn't seem there is anyone local that can help.john1970 wrote:Do you have a soldering iron because you will need it.

Re: HL to Taigen swap
From what I can gather, the wiring within the two makes of tanks, Heng Long and Taigen is different. Both turrets are wired in a slightly different way. Also the small board fitted within the top hull is wired and connected to differently between the makes.
It would be best to have the wiring diagram for the Taigen unit, and change the small top hull board and turret wiring layout to suit the Taigen.
The information you received about the Taigen board being ok to use in a Heng Long is correct, but it does take a bit of know how to do it.
I'm trying to find the turret rewiring information. Or, hopefully someone will chip in that already knows it.
