Thanks for address. I don't think I will be able to make it there as it's 1 and 1/2 hr drive from mine . There must be something nearer .RobW wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 12:56 pm The wires from the turret etc go to the control via the 8 pin wire. However, a couple may be different in the various versions. If you trace the wires from the top deck you can usually see what they're connected to. From there use the wiring diagram Kaczor posted to see what's what. You MAY need to alter the order the wires and that can be done by altering the 8-core wires: ie pin 3 top goes to pin 5 bottom (those numbers are not correct).
It's no worse than wiring an old car, especially given POs alterations over the years to replace the Lucas smoke that's escaped.
The Grantham meet is on 8th January https://www.facebook.com/GranthamLightArmouredDivision depending on who's down someone can probably help. Or failing that Dave & Julie (Forgebear) can help you buy something else!![]()

Re: Newbie to the model tank forum
you have an hour & a half...............I have nothing.
unless I fly via Dubai and then on to Heathrow
I have to drive 9 hours to get to a place that picks me up to go to work................then its hours in a Landcruiser from there to location.
I'd take an hour and a half in a blink for a tank meet!!!!!

Re: Newbie to the model tank forum
Assuming I get down it's around that for me too, others come from similar distances. Not sure about this weekend.
Herman, he's out in the Far East (Anglia), they don't really have roads out there.... Any there are tend to be full of tractors!

Re: Newbie to the model tank forum
Ahh, that I get !.............exactly like the area around Compiegne (well it was the last time I was there !)
And pretty much the areas I go to work in. Landcruisers, old Hiluxs(and some new ones) and dead kangaroos.
I'd go easily to a tank meet on a 90 min drive.

Re: Newbie to the model tank forum
Well as Iam not working due to health issues I just can't afford petrol . If I had one of my bikes on the rd it wouldn't bother me . Tank in box strapped on the back lol . Plus I don't like driving anymore unless it's absolutely necessary.
Re: Newbie to the model tank forum
No worries, as and when you want to. Sherman, KV1 and P3 all pack small
