Default WSN T-34 front hatch

Hi guys,

I just got a WSN T-34 and found the front hatch cannot open....actually there are no hinges. i opened up the upper hull and found that part is just a shape....no movable part... this is not what i saw from others. ppl can open their front hatch.

I got correct product or something changed??


Thank you

P.S. I will upload a picture tonight.

Is it the IR version?

The old WSN had a working hatch but I don't think the IR ones do.

The early versions had an opening hatch. All mine did [3]. I dont know exactly when they stopped doing it. Silly if you ask me.

Aaahh, it doesn't need to open. Nice if it does (I installed my power-up switch there) but not a deal breaker if it doesn't. DT makes an operational loaders hatch (at least he used to) that can be installed in the turret for your switch if using an Apple for a battle system. Otherwise the power switch can go in the cupola.

Thx guys. I think it's better it cut it out and move the main switch to the position just behind the front hatch. Is any1 using the ThinkTank tank module Eco (www.el-mod.de)? I thought it is much better than hl electronics as u just need this board and connect to ur receiver. If I am using this board with a futaba 4 channel radio what the performance will be? Is this a good deal for electronics upgrade? I don't need fancy Ir system and I am pretty  much prefer the moving system and turret turning. 

 I will be modifying this tank little bit more in following couple of weeks/months.
