RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

On your controller, there should be three buttons below the on/off switch, the one on the left should have a key symbol, you need to press that for the tank to start up, the lights should stop flashing and just stay steady.

The trouble with using a multimeter, you need to check the voltage under load to get a real picture of the battery state, those old ni-cad's can be deceiving.

Ok guys

Thank you for all that information.
Im at work now and try to this tomorrow with the pictures.
I have certainly tried switched on buttons both on tank and controller and A letter but nothing.

I have charged the battery first to move on.

Thanks for all the advice.

1. Thats the image of controller
2. the controler with the bulldog walker

I switch on the tank with the on button underneath and switch on controller position A on both switch ok and that should start the tank.

But that does not work.

Question is battery too weak it was checked. Is it something else. Thats why I come here for guys with rc experience .

Hi sorry if ive missed this already....

do the lights turn on and flash on the tank? If not try a fresh battery.

Regardless of the radio if the tank is OK to run, the headlights should turn on and flash. Once this is accomplished, the engine button on the radio will start the engine and lights will stay on solid.

As Mick stated, a dodgy old nicd battery will show voltage, but be too weak to start under load. I expect any old nicd battery will be well spent by now.

Hi

There is a 1 good news.

After charging the battery second tank has started working surprisingly. Its pershing with 1 number controller.

I have switched the battery between the tanks bit only Lights are flashing in walker - no movement.

Now Im charging last tank pantzer3.

At least one is moving.

I hope to get walker to move because he was the most expensive one.

Thank you

Greg

Hi

Thanks for a reply.

Yes lights are on and are flashing. Im not sure if the remote is from that tank because it was another walker on auction.

It looks like Im missing connection between tank and controller.

Im so Happy that one is working.

You put the controller switch in the A position.
And you put the similar switch under the tank to the A position. Maybe try the centre B position on both, just in case a switch is the wrong way around or a wire has come loose.
It may be an idea to try all three positions, and the A on one, and the C on the other.
