Hi guys,

Just acquired a Tamiya Tiger recently, but can't really figure out the starting sequence. It seems to randomly start up either with crank or battery start sounds. Is there a way to control which sound the speakers play when starting up?

Thanks.

Hi
The tamiya tanks almost all start the same?. When you turn on the transmitter then the tank it should start with the crank handle!! once it has started if you then switch off the tranny and then switch it back on it should restart by the battery sound!! Hope this helps??
All the best Brian....

The sound is defined by the order in which you switch on the transmitter and tank:

Switch tank on first = electric start effect (fast start)

Switch Transmitter on first = inertial start effect (more cranking over)

You may get a random effect if you quickly switch either end on or off since the circuits take 20 seconds or so to stabilize (discharge the state).
