Hi mate I've seen this type of model before. the wires are very poorly soldered direct to the circuit board. If you have the model apart locate the red and black wire from the circuit board to the gun mech, disconnect them from the board and try putting 6V direct to these 2 wires (red + black - if the gun fires then the problem is on the board. if the gun still does not operate then the mechanism is at fault sorry can not give you any more advice than this.

I do not have any pictures. but if I remember there was only the main power switch under the back of the tank which powered everthing when turned on. The plastic BB's was tipped down a shallow ramp that is under one of the turret hatches. and automatically feed the gun mech. as i said if the mech does not work under radio control try looking at the wires for bad or broken joints. or try with a battery to power just the gun mech and see if the mech is at fault or whether the radio board is at fault.
