Hi guys, does anyone have to sell, or know where I can purchase a couple or more Heng Long complete turret rotation units?

How long are you willing to wait?

I prefer buying local for a few $ more myself but depends on availability....

In the event that the vast array of spares out there, in our collective membership, doesn't offer up a turn unit- the cheapest I could find was on Ebay, Mick, for £7.99 per unit, with FREE postage.
This is the description in the search heading:
"...Heng Long Taigen Tank 1/16 Turret Rotate Motor with RX18 Cable UK.." The vendor is 'rc-models' (99% positive). He seems to be pretty much in the same location as Andrew Haya, in Cardiff, without being- it seems- another alias for Andrew.

Thank you Mr Jarlath

I'm like you, prefer local, or near local from trusted vendors, I still haven't used Ali Express yet, but at least I have that backup thanks

Oh, and I'm never in a rush, supplies turn up when they turn up

Thank you Roy

Yes, that is Andrew Haya, RC Models and Ding Ding are both his eBay accounts.
Funny, I didn't think of him And I didn't bother with eBay because usually most things like this come from miles away with extortionate postage.

I've just ordered a couple, thanks guys

The Metal DKLM Rotation motors come with a pre-fitted JST Plug unlike the Heng Long plastic ones that have to be hardwired into the daughter board, Dave sells Daughter boards with ready fitted sockets for the JST plug for the rotation motor and the Turret JST Plug

Yeah, I just received one, hence our chat in the forgebear thread, but I wanted a couple of Heng Long ones as well for experimentation purposes but thanks anyway Shaun

Another reason to shake our collective fist at the Atlantic Ocean. I could've sent you two or three of those buggers for free if it weren't for all that ocean. Fortunately this is a low cost item so it shouldn't be much of a strain, but sometimes I get frustrated when the puddle prevents me from being useful.

Someday a smart RC Tanker will move to Detroit just so they can have access to my spares bins.
