hi all, well got my tam leopard 2a6 today i have a simple question can you move the gun up to a raised position and leave it there or does it always self level as it moves on the servo fully up or down many thanks

Hey Ruben,

With the 2A6, you have the ability to leave the barrel up as your traversing the garden. Do you have the Stab system for it? Hope this helps.

hello mate thanks for the reply if you mean the gsu i dont have that i think without seeing it put in the turret i can not say for sure. as the gun is attached to the servo i can move it by pushing or lifting it up by hand but when i use the stick on controller nothing happens just some noise and thats it any ideas ? im using a futaba skysport t4yf on 40.725mhz and wired this way ch 1 j1 steering ch2 j3gun ch3 j2 throttle ch4 turret to get gun fire i push trim on right side up main gun fire trim down mg fire trim in middle no gun movement any help please

Hey Mate, The gun on my Leo can be pushed up and down only when the tank is off, but once I turn it on and it has power running to the servo it doesnt seem to want to move by hand easly but moves with the stick on the controller as per normal . Maybe your servo is stuffed have you tried another to check if its the servo or not...?

hello mate will be trying new servo today will let you know how it goes thanks for the info buddy

Hey Mate yeah let me know what you find out........
Cheers Ken

hi mate right servo knackerd trying to get a tamiya new one £44.00 is there a cheaper one, model number tsu-01 for tamiya part

Hi Mate glad she a relatively cheap fix, as for the servo any servo the same size should work as there's nothing special about it... Have you tried hobbyking they seem to be the cheapest around for that sort of thing or at least thats what I have found..

Cheers Ken

hi mate, thanks for the info i just found an acoms as -12 all works fine on tank so will fit that and let you know how it goes thank you for your help buddy

hi mate did not work the plastic arm on the servo end is tight up against gun barrel so it cant move it has to be the tamiya tsu-01 servo for it to fit in turret really peed off have to spend a further £41.00 to get it working on top of the £305.00 i paid already only had the tank a day new servo ordered !!!!!! £44.00 with p&p
