Hello from Leeds

Post by milzeh »

Thank god I found you guys. I have bought a Heng Long Tiger 1 from ebay & when I turn it on & push the controls I just get a fast flickering of the head lights & nothing else. It's the non SS version. Looks like the ebayer bought a boat load of faulty ones & then is selling them on over ebay. The chargers LED doesn't come on when plugged into the wall socket & battery either.
What can I try? It prob needs a new battery, charger & motor.

Please help!

The cystals are usually the first place to look when it does not 'start'.
Try some different ones if you have any.
Hope this helps

Hi Milzeh,

Could be the battery is discharged, as the Ni-Cd do loose charge if not used for a while and like you say if your suspect the charger is dud as no light comes on.

I've got an unused HL charger you can have and work in Garforth if you want to collect it.

Hi Milzeh,
Welcome to the forum :wave:
Hope you get it sorted, but try posting in the "FAQ" or "General" sections, you may find more answers.
