Tamiya Tiger 1 Rotation

Post by TankSim »

Hi,

I've just finished my tamiya tiger 1 and theres a slight issue with turret rotation.

When it starts to rotate the turret slips back about 0.5 cm before turning. Once turning it rotates fine,

has anyone else had this problem as I've done some searches and found there are issues with rotation that are solved by gluing the clutch on the rotation unit. I'm not sure this is the same issue.

I've also applied a liberal helping of grease to the turret ring/rotation unit as when first installed would not rotate at all.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
