Kingtiger running wild :)

Post by Fredrik Jorgensen »

Hi guys
I just have been at the swedish panzer museum where all the swedish tankers were invited to and had a blast.

I have one problem, my KT all of a sudden started to moove when i turned it on. By itself.
Never done that before so i just wonder what could have happened.

Radio is on before i start and when i do it starts to moove forward mostly right track.
Then after approximately 5 seconds it goes into stop and after that no problem.

But when i turn it of and on same problem

Radio is calibrated and zeroed so there should be no motion and ive even gone as far as adjusted the fine calibration to zero and still it persists.

Cant remeber if there were potenziometers inside the motion pack as on the tamiyas.

Regards
Fredrik

Which motion pack parts do you have - 4QD or the Armortek modules ?

It sounds like the receiver is taking a while to bind to the transmitter.

Im using the Armortek Standard Motion pack wich was released with the 1st batch

Im using a spectrum 7 channel digital radio with dual recivers.

When i think of it and as you decribe it i might have to redo the binding aswell, might be the problem.

When all was new and up and running the beast stood still and reponded as its supposed to. Then i changed the battery setup. ...

Ill get back on the issue if its resolved or still there :)

Thnx for the tip
Fredrik

Checked the batteries?

A friend of me had the same with his tiger and smashed into a wall. Don't remember how he fixed it, i'll ask him

My friend replaced the controller and receiver by a 2,4Ghz and it worked out so far

Indeed Leon, I almost had the same problems with my Tiger I.
My old receiver was suffering from interferences. Now I use a 2,4 Ghz installation and all my troubles are gone.
