HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
I suppose that could be polarity issue. BB module ( black cap engine ) need to be connected to CN10 only in one proper way. If you switch polarity in wrong direction - your BB engine will stuck ( because of BB gearbox "one direction" construction ). Second your BB trigger needs to be connected to CN6 - trigger port on your MFU.

Maybe you'll find some more info about 7.0 features ...

Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Ended up buying a new 7.0 BB mechanism from OZarmour (super quick postage got it in 3 days!) plus some resin fittings (20l water jerry can, OZ fridge for rear bustle rack, umbrella stand, power box and spare roadwheel), plus some plugs for the lights.
Fitted the BB unit last night to test it and after some button pushing it works!!
Now I need fit the new solid front idler axle slightly further fwd to get correct track tension....thinking of making an adjustable set of internal brackets to alter track tension.
Here is a pic of the resin goodies... none of anything else cause my phone camera has karked it....
Merry Beermas to all!!

LOL moved house last year and the M1A1 has been sitting on a shelf in pieces....had it back together briefly just before I moved but its still throwing tracks.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 11:55 am Its been a year now mate, you must have sobered up by now ??!!

Last year was a money pit with house move, then broken work vehicle( 1 day after moving....), then blew massive (fist sized) hole in the muffler of my 4x4 (2.5 days after moving) while using it for work while waiting on parts!! Fixed work van (it had stuffed front wheel bearing hub....its actually cheaper to replace the hub than replace the bearing) was back at work a week and half and got the C19 so was sick for 3days and off work again for a week and weak as a kitten for about a month after.
Up next was my shed/workshop got water in thru a leaky air con unit and spent quite a few weekends cleaning up and ripping out rotted carpet in the small office area....once that was done I was pretty much done, had no motivation at all for any model building at all. But managed to spend a few $$$ on ebay buying HO trains for my layout!!
Finally got my small workshop space sorted out over December/ Jan and have been finishing off my 1/72 RC harbour tug and looking at doing some work on the tank now that I have found the other box of parts I put in a safe place during the move.....
Cheers Bruce

Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Welcome back to something a bit more fun. I am sorry you have such a rough go of it. Maybe you've used up all your bad luck for a good while.
Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Thanks guys!!
Its been nice to get back to working on models again I have to do a big rewire on my 1/72 USS Long Beach as some of the 12 year old main power wiring is stuffed (well to be fair the wires are ok but the plugs are pretty nuked from the high Amp loads at full speed (about 11.8A @12v (more A's with newer batteries!). On one of the leads from the fuse box to Port motor the plug's insulation has melted...!! It runs 4x 12v 10Ah SLAs with 2 batteries per motor in parallel...My Rc harbor tug is nearly complete too with working Azi pod drive its one of my smallest 1/72 ship models (44cm long)...with the most expensive drive system!!
some gratuitous rc boat pics...
