Picture of the 2.4GHz Mato Sherman Hull Wiring?

Post by PainlessWolf »

Good Afternoon,
Does anyone here have or would be willing to take and post a clear photo of the stock headlight (also tail light if possible) and mg wiring setup on the Mato 2.4GHz Sherman upper hull?
Thanks in advance. I have separate photos of different tanks with parts and pieces of the wiring in different colors and I would like to have a picture of it as a whole before I update the hull wiring on my older Mato Sherman.
regards,
Painless

I don't have the tank anymore but maybe this can help until someone gets a better photo.

Frantz,
Thank you, Sir. This is one of the pictures I have access to. I'm looking for a shot of the areas out of frame at the front and rear of the hull. ;o) My Mato has a three pin connection for the headlights, bow mg and rear lights. The new 2.4GHz version has a four pin plug on the bridge board for these connections. I need to discover where the extra wire attaches.
regards,
Painless

Hey Painless... I don't quite remember what I noted down for you ... but that picture is pretty descriptive .... the wires that will throw you off are the ones that go to the rear lights... if you notice the blue wire is really the "hot" or positive wire and the red is the "cold" or negative ... it's what threw me off initially.. till I removed the glob of hot glue... mine wasn't as clear as that...it was white and cloudy...once I pried it all off ended up switching to normal colors for easier reference..the red and black wires that run across the hull are fine..they are your pos and neg for the rear lights same for the wires that run across the front...the red that runs from the rear to the front is actually negative...the white and yellow positive ... the left side of the machine gun LED lead was soldered to the right headlamp lead (neg)... I think the white went to the remaining lead on the right side of the machine gun LED lead(pos)

Hope that helps

Alpha,
Good morning and thank you, my friend. I am sort of a visual guy and being told where it goes is a big help but success for me will mean I need to see to do it.
regards,
Painless

Good Morning, CH,
This is closer and I can kind of make out the connections. I will wait until you get your new 2.4GHz Mato and post a picture of that hull with everything connected and unpainted. If you would be so kind as to do so. ;o) Thank you, my friend,
regards,
Painless
