heng long recoil

Post by cowdall2006 »

Hi have been trying to fit a recoil and flash unit to my Heng long tiger.In doing so my tank just keeps jumping backwards as if track recoiling not barrel recoiling .This happens with or with out the barrel recoil and flash connected and it doesent stop in till switched off. Could anyone with more brains than me pleases help thanks Dave.

Hey Dave,

That track recoil is incorporated within the electronics, I take it you running the stock electronics that came with the tank. To remove that annoying and unrealistic track recoil, PM Freakydude with Immortal Hobbies and get the Dragon ATRC, he's good to go and he'll be able to set you up. Plus answer any other technical questions.

Dave, it sounds like the micro switch on your barrel recoil is not cutting out the feed to the RX-18 so that as soon as your are power up your tank just start track recoiling and doesn't stop. You should also get the firing sound too continuously, right ?

Your barrel might be jammed, or the micro switch is not hook up properly. Is your Tiger I BB before the conversion ? Did you get a microswitch shipped with the barrel recoil unit ? Are you using the high intensity flash ? Send a pic or something of your hook-up.

Michael.

Dave,

Just in case you have not come across this yet. You will need this to fix your wiring issue.

Dave, I usually used old antenna connectors but you can just solder it to the negative power switch too. The connector is only there so you can disconnect from the lower hull. Send me a PM and I can mail you one too. Is it male or female from the recoil? I cant remember. I think it is female so you would need a male one.
