The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hi guy,
Any ideas?

My tank died while driving around a level grass area, still have power to turret but no drive at all. Batteries are full charge and nothing jammed as I pushed it into the shed.
Was driving ok going strong and just stopped, not to run again. And the motors were hot.
Any help appreciated.

Jeff

According to the manual, there's a "self-resetting trip" inside the speed control module, so maybe this has been tripped ?

Leave the tank to cool down and see if it will fire up again.

I don't know if it needs the power disconnected to reset, or just needs to cool down.

Hi,

The 'trip' I'm aware of (and encountered) is current sensing, it basically cuts the speed controller and resets by itself within a couple of seconds without the need to do anything.

If it doesn't return to operation after waiting a bit then other than checking fuses and that you are getting power and the receiver signal to the to the speed controller I would suggest you contact Mark (at Armortek).

hi guys,

Problem solved care of Mark, one 40a fuse blown in power supply module.
Simple and easy to fix.

Awesome news Jeff.

I don't have my motion packs yet.. I must chase them up

Hi Jeff

I finally have the cent running and blew the same fuse as you . And I was taking very easy as it was the first time out. Once you replaced it has it blown again?
