Torro tank being weird
Recently got a torro tank shipped to me from europe and after dealing with the rear exhaust issues i noticed that there is only sound for the turret rotation on my tank and the barrel smoke it comes with not appearing to work. There is also a mysterious blue cable which is on the turret but there isnt enough space on the servo for it either way i tested it for still no effect. I have the BB torro king tiger.

Can you open it up and take some pictures? I’ve gotten a lemon MFU from Taigen/Torro before, but it’s good to double check that everything is plugged in before you start trying to return/exchange.
Take as many as possible, particularly around where the wires are connected to things.

Re: Torro tank being weird
I second Jib's idea: I have lots of Torro (Taigen) tanks (same); I've never had a problem "out of the box." Let's see what's up.

If you open your Tank you will invalidate your Guarantee.
Send it back to the vendor in its original packing explaining why and that is all you need do..

I would have to pay 400$ to get it shipped back, either way i will get the images in later as i cant access my computer right now.
