Clicky turret.

Post by Comrade stumpy »

I have a torro king tiger and it has just started making the clicking sound (as it does when at full lock) at random intervals during the turret traverse, sometimes even jamming completely. There doesn't appear to be any obstructions. Any ideas what may be causing this and any suggestions on how to fix it ? The tank is virtually brand new.

Sounds like it might be catch a cable or something.

If nothing obvious then might be the turret gearbox. If you take to bits you find a gear with a spring with a washer on a shaft holding it. Try rubbing some of the grease off there or stretching the spring so holds the gear firmer.
