Tamiya King Tiger 1:16 Issues
Hi all, as a newcomer to the forum please accept my apologies if this has been answered before but i didn’t see anything after doing a search.
I bought my King Tiger last year ready built , ready to run, it came with an old 35 mhz Futaba ripmax radio/receiver combo and very recently i decided to upgrade to a 2.4 ghz system ( Planet T5) but the Planet T5 combo i bought i didn’t like as it would power the tank on but not power down, you had to do this manually via the switch under the turret,which you didnt have to do with the Futaba, my problem is when i revered back to the Futaba 35 mhz system as soon as the tank roars into life via the radio all that happens is the turret motor engages and no other functions work, accept the switchable headlight i fitted last year via the 5th channel, is there a master reset i need to press? I’ve tried reprogramming the channels as per the manual.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Darren.
