Hi all.. Just a few words on the new 2.4 gig controller.this is a big leap forward in heng long actually it's dam good what I have seen got no price yet but looking forward to getting me hands on this takes the last bit of ( TOY ) out off the out HL, TANKS.anyway take a look . See what you think. And happy tanking

I've seen this before but can't get anyone to say if the trim switches actually work or if they are glued in place.

Well since the left stick is a multu function stick you can't really have trim like a hobby grade radio. Funny enough it does say L/R trim for the right stick but not Forward/backward trim.

The slightly older set would appear to be glued in place - that or they're incredibly stiff! Haven't needed to trim anyway.

I was just curious due to many here saying their tanks don't track in a straight line.

hi joe sometimes it seams you can get motors running at deferent speeds ? this i found is connections at the motor end the capacitors or just bad solder joints , its not mechanical but make sure the tracks not tight ? . so i un solder the wires and capacitors and just clean things re solder.. i must say i change and re solder always so that then you know you have things in order ,, as for capacitors thay can be poor one's that are fitted . 108 "are the size , if you want to change them . you can get them on line at most electronic site , hope this helps,,cheers RAY .

HI. Michael ' yes i know what you mean i have have 4 of the old type and have trimmers on right stick for forward/reverse and left/right thay do work ... some controllers dont have trimmers ? just a chinese cheapskate . but if wires and connections sound then you don't need trimmers anyway , happy tanking ,

yes thay do work .. but you should not need trimmers . the motors running at deferent speeds is problem ,un solder clean things re solder motors running correctly ,just bad chinese connections i always found .Regards RAY .

Thanks Ray, I have noticed a lot of poor solder joints within the tanks. As you have pointed out, some need to be fixed which I have done. I haven't had to redo motor connections but will take a good look at them again. Thanks for the help.

HI" JOE glad to help yes the solder connections most of times bad ,, when i get a new tank i always dismantle it and check everything out "BEFORE" i connect power.my sherman i just got had a solder joint on the motors extremely close to the gearbox frame this wold of shorted out and damaged the m,f,u. anyway joe enjoy and happy tanking
