The Life and Times of a Tiger 1

[Stormbringer]

have you tried it with the 9.9v life battery again?

[westyIII]

I have, fully recharged the 9.9v LIFE, no joy

[Stormbringer]

only other thing i can think off is to switch the tank on 1st then the transmitter with the bind button pressed

[westyIII]

Just tried, nothing.

Reset the controller as well, and tried with a direct connection instead of a switch.

[Stormbringer]

hopefully someone else with more experience with mfu's chimes in

[HERMAN BIX]

I believe the top right button needs to be held down during the binding process

[westyIII]

Tried that! No joy!

TK7.0

New/Charged batteries in TX & RX

Power Off for both TX and RX.

Power on TX.

At the same time pressing/holding the unlock button down (TX Power Tank/RX On) Flip the Power Switch for the RX/Tank. Should start up. It might take a second the first time.

If that doesn't work I go back to basics and remove the RX from the tank and test it separately with just a speaker, power switch and battery cables plugged in.

[westyIII]

Thank you, I followed those instructions, no joy.

Tiger headlights still blink slow, as if no comma from Tx.

Ive pulled the Rx, and gone back to basics. Still no joy unfortunately. Headlights on, doesn't fire up.

I hate to ask, but are you using the correct radio for the binding? I know it's a stupid question, but I can't see what you are looking at. I'm personally running 12V on a 7.1 system. I've heard others have had issues with the 7.0 boards not wanting to run at higher voltage. Like others have said, I would only plug in the power switch, the speaker, and the battery. And you said the lights never stop flashing so it's probably not a bad speaker of which I have had 3 bad ones on the 7/7.1 boards.
