Turret won't turn

Post by Gillaspy2005 »

Hi all,

I have a hl tiger 1 and I am having problems with the turret turning, the turret worked for a while and then just stopped turning, I have taken off the turret motor and connected it to the battery and it's not the motor as it turned over fine.

I have had a look at the circuit board on the hull upper and this looks ok. Has anyone had this before, I am beginning to think that a new rx-18 might be needed however want to take some advice before ordering one.

Thanks

Dave

Have given the tx a look and the contacts are well being made, also when I try to turn the turret the sound is being emitted so it looks like the command is being sent and received. Any more suggestions anyone?

Hi all, thought I would post the solution, dropped in a new rx-18 and the turret turned just fine. Might help someone else in the future.
