clark tk 22 recoil problems

Post by Jughead »

Why does the barrel recoil on my tk 22 board want to activate instantly when I turn on tank ? This is doing this on not one , but 3 or 4 of my tanks , it's plugged in correctly beside my 5 wire ir plug , my radio is also shutoff at the time , it's ruining my servos and other recoil parts, I'm left with leaving my recoils unhooked from the board to save parts , grrrr , very aggravating , any answers would be greatly appreciated, thanks

sounds like you need to go into programming mode and reverse the servo direction...

Hi you should only have Tank switched on when radio is on , when you switch a tank on and do not have radio on you could have chance of the tank running off, also servos that are on with no signal can twitch even cycle from end to end can depend on the servo type your using. If the recoil dosnt move when radio is on , you don't have a problem .
