Tk 16 problems

Post by Gbp813 »

Hello, i got a modified MATO king tiger with a tk 16 board and associated electronics, it was working fine until yesterday, but now it takes several attemps for it to receive signals from the Fs I6S i have, the tank turns on and the blue light in the board turns dim for some reason, and when it does receive signals the turret works, smoking works, lights work, but it wont drive
Also the engine turns on for some reason when i move the right stick to the lower right position

All the wiring seems correct and i fully charger My 11.1 5200 mah hrb battery

I got it from toucan and tried to get help from them but they arent doing much

Hello, Does it look like a defective battery?
Have you considered replacing the transmitter batteries? What do you charge your 5000 Mah battery with? charger type? original or automatic?

8O So you charge a Lipo battery? I think? by the balancing socket? You should know that on a Lipo, there is a certain tension? (volts) below which you must avoid going down per cell, and which is 3 volts. Otherwise the battery is dead? for this it is strongly recommended to install an alarm system. So if you do not have this, and used the battery to its maximum capacity?? very likely that it is better. In addition, your type of charger cannot tell you whether each cell is well balanced, as well as the value (volts) at the end of charging,

Yes i know it's not ideal but it was either that or 1 month for a good one to arrive from china, is there no other possible cause?

Personally, if you used the battery without an alarm system, and the tank practically no longer works? there is a good chance that it is this. On the charger there should be a flashing (green?) light, which becomes solid at the end of charging? is this the case, the charging time depends on the intensity of the charger (amps) and the battery.
Some turntables have an integrated system which will cut off when the battery reaches 3 volts, I don't think this is the case here? I don't know if you are used to using Lipos? but there are precautions to take when loading, storing, and using. See our YouTube, many tutorials :thumbup:

:) For the charger, there is also one on the "Amazon" site or on "Aliexpress" if you look carefully, some sellers will deliver to you within 10 days, free of charge, as soon as the amount exceeds €10 :thumbup:

The drive motors consume the most power. So the issue could still be a weak battery. Try spinning the turret and then drive forward does the turret continue to turn?
