Herr Dr. Professor!
That is Good News! I am glad that it was a fix requiring only some deciphering of the Manual!

But are there buttons to control the emulational battlegrouping sounds or the maker of smoke engine generator?

Good Evening,
One last mention of my Crusader in this Thread just to elicit a Laugh. I read of the Good Dr.s success and thought "why not?" I looked up the Tanks how to: Turn off Gyro Stabilizer and did so. Tank turned off. I restarted tried the Elevation. It Worked!...for one try only then Fritzed Out again. Servo Board must be overheating still. Well, it was worth the Try just to get an Endorphin Jolt when it worked to elevate the Gun. No More Crusader nonsense in this Thread.
regards,
Painless

ColemanCollector: about twenty years ago the instructions in one tank (HengLong, I think) promised "better sex." For a while we were all testing buttons.

Does anyone remembers that great instruction sheet?

I remember it, but I thought it was on the box for the Ultimate Gearbox 2?

KeithT no problem... Although I had 17 years of post-secondary education, the best learning I have came through my own :headbang: efforts, and that includes the lesson of deciphering the instructions for the V & B switch. It's good for me to practice some problem-solving in old age. :D

Just got my Matilda. After some short runs the traverse ceased working. Opened it up and reseated the corresponding plug, all works now. Given the hand operated assembly lines and the aerial and trucking journey to me, it was a minor consequence.
