2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Help with the recoil wiring

Post by Gary Sullivan »

Can anybody help with any clear photos how this task is carried or a realy simple step buy step idiots guide for the correct connections for the turret and recoil system,this is my first time using or fitting any RC equipment,and I have no electrical knowledge at all and I do not understand the instruction book that well I realy thought this would be plug & play.
Once I connect the turret loom connections I am left a single connector with white and yellow wires,I guessing it is for a blank fire unit?.My elevation motor engages immediately and lowers the gun and keeps going as the micro swithes do not stop the motor,also it will not raise .
When I connect the recoil connectors to the Amplifier unit I lose all sound from the unit as I have to disconnect the connection marked E the amplifier control cable.and place the connector from the recoil unit in its place .These problems are now holding the build up as I cannot bolt the decking down until this is competed .Any help I would be very great full.

Hi Gary and Paul
Just answered your PM Gary,if your recoil manual was like mine with the photo
chopped off,the 2 right hand cables cross over each other in the picture,so the Gun
cable that goes to the connection by the volume control is the right hand cable.
So the other cable of that right hand pair is the one that replaces the receiver to amp connection.
Regards
Phil
