Hi hope someone can help me. I've just acquired a taigen tiger 1 with metal upgrades and I love it. The problem I have is the main gun just fires continuely. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like you have a short somewhere .. open it up disconnect the wires so you can separate the upper hull from the lower.. inspect the connections inside the turret.. being your tank is used..it could be one of the wires may have lost it's insulation somewhere inside the turret... it's that or your micro switch on the gun mech...it may be stuck
Before doing that though...try flipping the firing ON/OFF switch (which should be in one of the turret hatches) a few times...see if it clears the circuit

GOOD LUCK :thumbup:

The gears are probably spun... sorry time for a new mech...happens a lot with airsoft guns... tank mechs are way weaker and less reliable...what part of the world are you in... it's easier to recommend a vendor who can help you
