Hello, I think you forgot to go through this post, it's easier to get help, to introduce yourself, to know a little more about you, your passions, how long have you been modeling? ect, etc. Thank you in advance

The "body recoil" is dependent on your tank class setting, light medium or heavy. You get the most body movement in the light setting.

Hello, is this problem recent? already worked? comme il faut ... What type of transmitter do you use? Is the travel of the servo outputs correctly adjusted? if programmable radio, not a setting that would have moved? mechanically no worries? it's only loose ideas, like that.for info, attached notice

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/19920 ... =17#manual has this been respected? at Tamiya, some adjustments are made by shifting certain Trims, so in the case of a programmable radio, pay attention to the percentage of adjustment of the Trims, in the menu.

Hello, I am having the same problem with the same tank. I have traced to the gear box. The drive motor does turn a lil when the canon shoots. But when assembled within the gearbox, the motor doesn’t turn as much. I can’t figure it out. I retraced the instructions. All I can see is on page 14 section 7, there is a spurgear A and spurgear B. Both my spurgears are A. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have halted the tank build until I remedy this.

I actually re build the gearbox and I have everything corrected. I just can’t get the gearbox not to bind when closing it.

Hello, so it would be a mechanical problem? everything seems to line up well, sprockets, axles, etc. bearings poorly centered? axes that force? is it metal or plastic?
