take the recoil unit out of the turret and check the wires on it make sure none have come off from the on/off switch

Just a quick mention note of the two recoil systems Jofaur kindly contributed. The lower, alloy, unit is actually Heng Long's latest offering and is intended to be used with its V6.0 series of controllers. The recoil is servo-based and won't work with Taigen V3 controllers, as far as I can see. (The V3 has no dedicated three-pin servo connection points).
Yes, and as John suggested, always check wiring connections to check for dry joints (bad solder), and detached wires. Also, make a note of which colours emanate from individual components. This will aid finding the correct terminals on the V3 controller.
It's also the case that there was, in the past, an earth wire running from the recoil unit to the power switch (main on/off switch) on earlier iterations, without which the recoil won't operate. Counter-intuitively, the wire is sometimes red- yet it is a ground/earth wire.

Hello
I had to replace all but one of the suspension Arms, the torsion bars were all there, I have ordered a recoil unit and mantle and Taigen V3, every thing is put back together and hopely finished tomorrow.
