Clark TK60 will not work?

[Mendip Wursel]

I recently purchased a Clark TK60 board and have since installed it Heng Long tank.....

The problem is I cannot get it to work correctly.... the only thing it does is moves the turret and limited sound. No forward or reverse with tracks, or any of the basics
I have fitted a number of the TK22 board in the past with no problems, and also swooped a TK22 onto this tank and again no problems. I am running a Turnigy transmitter.

I also swooped the receiver with a different one, and it still will not works correctly

Does anybody have any magical answers as to why this board will not work? Are the TK60 boards generally reliable?

Thanks

Kevin

Kevin I own several Clark tk60 boards and they are very nice. Are you running a 6 channel setup or something different?

What channels are plugged into the Rx? What order are they in?

I usually plug my Clark tk22 systems in a particular order of servo wires accordingly to the rx 1 through 4.

Same with my Clark tk60 boards 1 through 6.

Who did you purchase it from?

Stian ( Maxmekker) on the forum is Mr Clark board and I purchase from him all the time. He assisted me with every purchase.

Any details you have to offer will help us figure this out

Here's a nice schematic for the tk60

My Clark board Clark tk22 uses a turningy 9xrpro and it's setup as this

Ch1- steering = ch3 rx
Ch2- throttle = ch2 rx
Ch3- elevation= ch1 rx
Ch4- traverse= ch4 rx

Yours maybe Different but this works for me with 8 different Clark tk22 boards.

My tk60 6 channel is ( non sbus) and is setup like this with a turnigy 9x radio

1clark rx 3
2clark rx 2
3clark rx 1
4clark rx 4
5clark rx 5
6clark rx 6

Hope this helps

Cheers

Channel 6 is elevation and it's on a pot on my transmitter

Lets have a few photos of the setup/connections , and lets see if we can get this bad boy up and running

Hello have you made any progress with the board yet? Hoping to figure this out with you

Cheers

Thanks for all of the advice....
I just plugged Ch 1 on the receiver into Ch 1 on the TK60 board, and the same with the other channels..... this is all I have ever done with the TK22 borad
By the sounds of what is being said this is not the way to connect this board
I am using a 6 channel Turnigy TGY-i6 transmitter and purchased TK60 from TankZone.
I think I need to swap the channel cables around to see if that makes any difference.
The problem at the moment is the only working channel seems to be the turret ..... I don't quite understand why only 1 channel seems to do anything

Because you won't get movement without starting g the engine and using the clutch feature to put it into gear. If your channels are messed up you'll struggle to get anything other than rotation and maybe elevation.

Does sound like you need to swap your plugs around till you get it working

Do you have the relevant manual from Clark? I have found with the TK22 that the channels did not correspond to the transmitter channels. On the transmitter, if you go to display, it will show you which channels correspond to which function. Once you have got the channnel numbers for throttle, steering etc., just check the Clark manual against the function and then connect up accordingly.
http://clark-model.com/eng/prod_rx60/index.html If you scroll down the page past the 10 channel and 8 channel connection parts, you will get the 6 channel details.
