H/L Recoil Units using the Latest RX18

Post by Saxondog »

I have a problem,the latest RX18 jerk equipped tank using their recoil unit. The fault being when firing the Main Gun "NO RECOIL"!

Here are the symptoms,Fire! The tank double track jerks,the barrel flash fires once and that is all.

I have checked the wiring,the limit switch is not stuck,and the barrel manually moves freely.

Yet no recoil,all RX18 connections have been traced and found correct,all in good condition.

How to test and repair,and does anyone have the diagram for this circuit?


Thanks,Saxondog

If you've replaced an airsoft need to make sure the red turret switch is on to power the recoil.

All though it sounds like it is firing using the k button and not the left stick up.

Brand new Tank,the Henschel Pro-Edition from Torro, all switches on all switched function. What I need to know is the diagram of this system? Or a trouble shooting guide to the firing system.

I have very little time and as I am selling this tank wish to disassemble as little as possible.

Thanks Tankbear for your suggestion,I Should have been more specific.

As far as I know the torro wiring is not compactable with the HL RX18 so will need rewiring. When I did mine I just tried different wire combinations until I got if working.

No Ian,This is the Torro Pro=Edition,it is an RX18 equiped tank from the factory. Review the pictures in Hobby news of my post on this tank.

My problem is I have not had the experience with the H/L recoil,which is the unit in this Torro Tank. So is their a wiring diagram for the H/L recoil system? And has anyone experience these symtoms,double track jesrk,Firing flash,Emitter signal,yet no recoil?

Perhaps this will clear up my problem,thanks for you help. cheers

Ive a few wiring diagrams on my computer. Next time I'm on it I ll upload.

Suppose can try an RX18 from another tank to see if it is faulty RX18 you have.
