Broken Taigen controller

I have a Taigen 1/16 Tiger 1 (V2) . It came with the Taigen T5 controller 2.4GHz. I recently got it out of storage and found that the controller no longer works. I'm not electronicically skilled, but, with a multimeter was able to establish that power is reaching the board. I think it must be a problem with the switch itself, fixing that is beyond my ability.

Can I get a new one? Where from? How much? Will I have to bind it to the tank? If so how? The original instructions omitted the binding method as it was done at the factory and I don't know how to do it.

Any suggestions would be great.

I have contacted Dave at Forgebear and bought a Taigen V3 upgrade which includes a new controller. I'm all sorted now. Thanks.

If you bought the Taigen V3 with the sound module, you get much, much, much better sound for your Tiger. It's easy to install; even a fumble-fingered, scaredy cat can do it: I do it frequently. :haha:

I did. I'm looking forward to receiving it, depending on the post office strike. Thanks.
