Jagtiger in need of a reboot

Post by Hwal2605 »

Hi,
Not a newbe, but I haven't posted for a while.

I bought a HL Jagtiger at an auction only to find it had no Transmitter when I got home. Despite searches, the transmitter did not turn up. Thinking that A new 7.0 Transmitter and Control board would do the trick, I invested in both from Aliexpress. Got them last week, and, naively thinking the upgrade would be fairly simple, I proceeded to take out the old board and install the new 7.0, silly me. I have no idea where the existing pin connectors go, despite looking at 7.0 diagrams. I don't even know the version of the old board, although it does have a cooling fan on top. Lastly, the internal wiring of the tank, on the turret area (OK, it doesn't actually have a turret), appears to have had some unwanted attention. But first things first, can anyone point in in the right direction to get the control board wired up. Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

best regards

Harry

Before anyone here pipes up with a Taigen wiring diagram, I'll point out that judging by the gearboxes this is the old 'Heng Feng' (I think thats what they were branded as) JagdTiger.
Obvioulsy been upgraded at some point, can you take the cover off that existing board and upload a picture of it, as this might help somebody figure out what you are dealing with?

Good evening,
Unless I'm mistaken? and in view of the photos, it is not a Heng Long? but a Matoro (see black pkastic engine covers) the plate in place RX 18 in 2.4Ghz could very well have been kept? just to buy the corresponding transmitter, new or used? there it will be necessary to take again the whole of the existing wiring, you must have besides the corresponding diagram, in principle?

The 'Heng Feng' JT used the old Matorro KT chassis and control boards. Similar to the old RX13 if memory serves, but with slighly different pins outs, the turret was a 10 pin connector and a few other oddities - The power switch cables had a nasty habit of catching fire :wtf: so hopefully they have been replaced!

I found this old thread showing the guts of it https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-tan ... ?styleid=7 so we can safely conclude that whatever system is in there now is not original :crazy:

to follow up on Tiger's post, indeed an interior photo of the upper chassis would be appreciated, I think it's a BB system (airsfot) according to the can that is visible?

in view of the photo on RC Universe, looks more like a very old 27 Mhz HL radio system, on the left the control electronics, and on the right the receiver, without quartz, there were 3 possible frequencies, by manipulation of A 3-way switch, the one our friend is talking about, is indeed a Matoro or under the brand, with the famous 10-pin cord (photo attached, of a Sherman Mato, before modifications. Herman rightly, it is indeed a Taigen plate V3 currently.

Get. Taigen V3 board, sound card and transmitter from Forgebear and away you go!
The V1 will also work if you get a V1 transmitter and bind it .
Not sure if the old transmitter is still available new, so advise you to go for a V 3 system

The OP already has a brand new HL V7.0 to install... He just needs help figuring out the wiring.
