Having had time to test out the new acquisition.

May I ask those in the know how to turn off the tank recoil. Can’t find it in the instructions.

Ah yes. Giving the full information always helps. It is a newly acquired Torro/Taigen Tiger 1. I think it has the V3. Not exactly sure about these.

Thank you Kaczor. I wonder if they could have made it any easier to find? :crazy:

At least it didn't require aftermarket parts or rewiring!

Ohh the eccentricities of Taigen. :haha: :haha: :haha:

If this is your first then you'll love how things sorta work non-intuitively. Down is eventually up for the cannon, steering and throttle response is twitchy like a field mouse trapped in a room of hungry barn cats, Ahhh but the Tiger I fidelity is much better than Heng Long, sans the mirrored antenna mold on the drivers side on the rear engine deck. :headbang:

Oh. I ran it today. I am learning the eccentricities.

One of the better things I have read in a while! Thankfully was not drinking coffee at the time.

I think there are eight or more different control configurations among the AFVs and accessories I run. Remembering the different configurations help reassure me that the years have not boiled my noodles.
