Post by Topper »

Hello
I was going to put a HL turret on a Taigen deck, I noticed the plugs are different,I would be grateful if anyone can tell me what different plugs are for?
Thanks in advance
Frank

On the heng long all the wires are soldiered to the 8 pin board on the taigen the 3 pin plug is for your machine gun 2 wires on the outer pins the headlights will be soldiered to the bottom of the board the 2 pin plug is for your turret rotation the vacant 3 pin plug is for the BB gun and elevation. on the heng long you have 3 wire coming out of the turret that go to a small square soldiered pad then to the 8 pin connector these are the bb gun and elevation.
Depending on what main board you are using you might have to change the BB gun as it looks like it has no microswitch fitted.
