Yes cable number 2 on CN3. Just the two pin connector that connects to CN3, leave the rest plug in. It has yellow and white cable coming out to a 2 pin male connector that connects to the 2 female black/red from the turret. unplug it and see what happens.

It works :) :clap: :thumbup: . Recoil of the gun , elevator, turn of the turret and battle system are working. The flash is not working and I don't hear the gun shot.

Notice, my Tiger was a BB tank in origin not a IR tank. Left stick up with my old turret shot the bullet, I shot by the battle system using the key "K" on the transmitter .

Of coure I'm thinking to a IR tank now

Okay at least we are heading in the right direction. I think the Taigen turret comes with a high intensity flash, right ? When you look down the barrel do you see an LED or do you see a plastic tube ? I still think there is a reverse of polarity in the plug that you unplugged but I want to make sure that it is the case before we try it.

Teo, you said the recoil is working so it reset itself everytime you fire, right ?

this is what I see in the gun, It seems a plastic transparent tube. It doesn't seem a normal led

This is the turret.  The recoil unit in the turret  is very similar to the asiatam recoil system with a high intensity flash

Yes, every time I fire the gun goes back and then returns in his normal position

Hi
When I ( with help from Michael ) connected mine, I had the same problem. Stuck in track recoil/firing mode. It was the barrel that was delivered fully recoiled, thus triggering the track recoil/firing switch. Pulled the connector like you did, and the barrel returned to full length. Refitted the connector and everything worked.

Thank you Dane,
yes it is true, after pulled the connector the barrel returned full length. This evening I try to refit the connector and we will see ;) :)

Thank you again

Teo, I thought about it and if plugging it back in doesn't work, the only other thing I can think of is that the polarity might be switch on that plug, but I believe this only applies to the Taigen 2.4Ghz MFUs and not the RX-18s. Hopefully this will work. Otherwise you can try switching the pins on the plug and see if it makes a difference.
