It's been ages and ages since I last posted. Tonight I was messing around w the Clark TK 22
Board. I set it up as per the Clark web page and I get nothing. I think it may be a radio / receiver issue. It's got the proper specs but I haven't hooked anything like this up before. I am getting power the little fan spins but that's it. No movement at all? Any advice appreciated, I haven't a clue when it comes to r/c that's my weak link.
Some photos of my set up

At the moment I just want lower hull power and then will add servo recoil.

I think the jumper comes later with the turret / battle system, right now I just want it to move , period :O thanks for the suggestion. You may be right I will keep poking around
Cheers

Kiaser wrote:Yes there should be a jumper plug in the 2 pin also to complete the circuit and If you need a pic I will pull mine out for you to have a look but there should be a jumper plug that sits in there that came with the board :thumbup:

And a jump plug which is used on the servo connector pins .
I have so much to learn :crazy:

Thanks Kaiser for the info. I am so bad at the r/c part of this hobby , I may be in over my head with this and have considered getting a taigen r/c set and using that. Plug and play I can do :haha:
Maybe it should just be a static model :O
I spent a bit more time on some details , assembling the tow cable attachments
