Turret not turning, any help.

Hi guys, I have a 2.4 Kingtiger and all is working fine apart from the turret. The gun elevates etc and fires, machine gun flashes, headlight works no issue however, the turret will not turn. I tested the original motor and it was dead, so have replaced the unit-this works fine with just a direct 7.2 input but when connected to the board-dead.

The top hull board is a 8-3-2 pins. I think that the two pin plug might be kaput or have a dry joint, not sure.

Just thought that I would ask on here and get some answers before I start faffing anymore.

Many thanks guys for any info.

Si:)

Sorted, after buying a new 8-3-2 pin board and motor, and it still didn't work, I stripped the MFU and replaced it with a Taigen unit from another tank, yep, all fired up and the turret now turns. So, the HL MFU is kaput on that 2 pin side for some reason.

Luckily, I have my support Tiger so, the HL has gone into there as there is no turret :D

Good to see you worked it out. Handy having spare parts to swap out.
