Thanks for your replies!
I have read about the TK-6.0 board that if you plug a cable to the wrong port, may cause a malfunction or a shortcircuit to the board.
Giving that I've plugged and unplugged it many times I am starting to fear the worst: the command board may be actually damaged.

That's why when I assemble everything and I press all ON, the light does not come on and off and nothing responds.
God, I'm starting to hate that board.

Anyway, I am going to assemble the tank again with the stock parts and try to bound it; I hope it works but I certainly know the board is damaged

I understand your frustration as I too am dealing with inexperience in trying to fix issues with my few Tanks. I wish you every success with "awakening" your Tank and enjoying it now and in the future. By following thus thread, I have learned a lot about issues that I am having in my own Tanks. Hang in there my friend, we are all in this together!

LATEST NEWS:

I tried to bond the stock TK.6-0 command board many times with no result. I can state that this board is oficially dead

I found a cheap RX.18 + controller + speaker and bound cable on a Spanish RC dealer site and I bought it. I have succefully bond the new old RX.18 board (with the controller it came with) and I finally have the Jagdpanther running again!! So I partially solved my issues with the Jagdtiger!! Now it's running and it's simply amazing how the new motor, the metal hull and the all metal suspension, wheels and tracks behaves!! It has been worth all the headaches and invested money.

However, this good news are leading to more issues...

THE STOCK PARTS OF MY JADGTIGER ARE FROM A MUCH NEWEST VERSION THAN THE RX.18 BOARD!!!!

Everything from my Tank was designed and manufactured to run with the newest TK.6-0 command board. This means that now with the RX.18 board I bought I downgraded the whole thing and while the tank runs and makes sounds, the smoke unit, elevator, lights and BB system is not compatible thus not working. I feel a bit stupid, but thanks to all this I am learning a lot.

What can I do now? Should I have to buy all the older parts per separate and replace the stock/newer parts with them?

Hi.
You could have bought a new TK6.0 board and transmitter from Andrew at HAYA rc tanks.

http://www.hayaltd.co.uk

Go to menu, catagories, accesories general tank parts and its there.

About £60.00 UK pounds.
Give him a ring and he may be able to supply a new TK6.0 board on its own for you....then problem solved.

Here's a more direct link to the unit Sub mentioned.
Where a measure of interchangeability, or backwards compatibility, was present in some earlier iterations of HL control systems, this is not the case now. Even the 8-pin connectors that link turret functions to the controller can vary.
Thus 'mix and match' configurations are only like to produce frustrating problems.
On the plus side, your fund of knowledge is building rapidly (like your expenditure ) and at the end of it all, you'll have a great looking and well-performing Tank!

As a footnote to the foregoing, using crimp type bullet connectors to connect the motors to the controller would have been fairly straightforward. A crimping tool and an assortment of connectors can be had online fairly cheaply. They're also fairly easy to use.
This one can be had cheaply on Amazon. Just ensure that the joints are fully insulated, as Sub suggested.

I link that now we will have to resume wiring? To achieve this, you need soldering iron 30/50 watts,

It was this thread that gave me the idea to post this. . . .

Principle and color CN 8 wiring Taigen,Heng Long,etc. This is the color of the wires of the connecting,cable from CN 8 on RX 18 and the 8 pin plug on the upper châssis ,on which are connected all the motors,rotation,elevation,shot,etc
