First off...didn't even know Torro made a T 34...but after Google searching it...found they did...anyway not sure you can use this

but this is the wiring diagram for the Torro RX

I think you could get more help by contacting the Torro Shop...others that have the Taigen might be able to help as well...as I'm pretty sure the electronics are the same

Hi, Debs
Which video of the T34 did you watch on Youtube? There are oodles of them.. :O Was it this one here, where Imex-Erik (AKA Taigentanks) waxes lyrical about the Taigen/Torro 2.4Ghz edition of the celebrated beast. If it was, then the diagram supplied by Alpha here is the one you need to follow, since all Taigen and Torro tanks use an identical motherboard (MFU, or whatever you want to call it). Is yours a 2.4Ghz model (metal ed.,?). Generally speaking, the connectors will only fit in the slots one way round..once you've found the correct slot, that is. Connections will differ slightly depending on whether you have the BB (airsoft) or IR version of the tank; but again the diagram is there to help. Hope this sorts it for you.. :thumbup:

Isn't the old wsn t-34 rebadged as a torro? If that is what the OP has then the electronics/wiring will be totally different

There are currently two totally different T34s from Torro. As deathrawt says, one, recently re-released, is the rebadged WSN, available for 119 euros. The true Torro is in a different price league. Presumably, the internals will be totally different, so it should be easy to determine which one is under discussion here.

Apparently the Torro looks exactly like the Taigen...the difference is ..there is more "modelling" capability as there is less metal....the hull is a plastic with metal tub insert where the Taigen is all metal

The Taigen naked...note the full metal tub ;)

The MA Torro is still around...like before mentioned it has been reissued with a 2.4 rig....too bad for Ma Torro...they are no longer the only game in town...which is a good thing...as the operation of them are funky at best....have to admit though...they are hilarious box stock :haha:

This is the reason why I asked her for the details of the model she has, and also of the video she's watched.. Sadly, clairvoyance doesnt appear on my CV! :lolno: Anyway, on the rctank.de site, the cheaper model is described as a 'Heng Long' version, but it's probably identical to the 'Torro' version sold by Torro in Germany, as they offer both 'Torro by Heng Long', and ''Torro'- the premium 'metal' version also sold as 'Taigen/Torro by rctank.de, and Taigen/Torro by Taigentanks in the US. All designed to confuse, of course, just as we're all still a little mystified at the differences- if any, between Heng Long, Tiagen, Torro (Matorro), Mato, Wsn etc..as they all seem connected in some inscrutable fashion. :shifty: :lolno: But, in all probability they use identical 2.4ghz systems, presses, and largely interchangeable parts. It makes economic sense to do so

You mean it is not coincidence that HENG LONG/TAIGEN/TORRO/etc all have the Cupola on the Tiger 1 (early) in the same wrong position ? Well I am shocked !!!
You will be telling me next that the duplicated aerial stowage tubes also on the Tiger 1 is not by accident either. :lolno:
shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
