Hobby Engine Abrams and Leopard

Hello all -

I just bought 2 Hobby Engine tanks for my boys.... An M1Abrams and a Leopard A25

Unfortunately , the remote controllers each control both tanks - rendering running at the same time/battling very frustrating and we are unable to do so.

Any advice?????

Thanks!

Good Afternoon,
Welcome to the Forum. Do your tanks have a slot for crystals to be plugged into the tank and Radio? Are they marked as 2.4GHz, perhaps? It sounds like your tanks have the same crystal frequency assigned to both vehicles. Unless they are of a sort that allows the frequency to be changed by swapping out a crystal in the vehicle and the Radio handset, your best option may be to return one and get a tank with a different frequency assigned to it. The frequency each vehicle operates on should be clearly marked on the tank, radio and the box they came in.
regards,
Painless Wolf

Hello GreenHornet... I agree with Painless... check those crystals... if there aren't any look for a channel switch...if there isn't a channel switch... try taking one tank into another room turn it on there then sync the controller...by turning it on as starting it in the room... the other in a different spot

Good luck

Hi Green Hornet, unfortunately the Hobby Engine radio sets have a crystal soldered to the boards so its a swap at the shop
