Pete -

Looks like we're part way there, then .....

I still wonder if you're using the Male leads, though. I can't understand why you're getting the 6pdr sounds - that's not right. The manual is relatively straightforward if you follow it carefully, so just check everything again.

As for the switches, it's probably something you have to configure on the transmitter, rather than the Armortek modules. The manuals are usually badly translated via Swahili from the original Origami, so good luck with that !

Binding tracks are usually due to the drive chains (between the motors and the rear drive cogs) not being tight enough. That involves taking the tracks off and tightening the engine mounts - not an easy job. Also check the track tensioners on the front horns.

The Mark IV is a wonderful model, so it's worth the effort to get it right .....

All the best,

Chris
