Need serious help with a 1/16 Bergpanzer 3 Buffel.electronics
Hello tankers,
About a couple of weeks ago I received my AFV Models 1/16th Bergpanzer 3 Buffel RC model from Germany, boy did this thing cost a fortune, almost $5000. I had been saving for this since it came out several years ago. This thing is awesome and has almost 2000 parts mostly metal. One problem with it there are no instructions which it is not a problem for me, my problem is all the electronics that came with it; did anybody here build this model?
I actually ordered everything pertaining to the Bergpanzer from them, I have no problem with building it since I usually scratch build my own 1/16th models, and I usually use Tamiya or off the shelf electronics, or sometimes my own scrounged together electronics on my RC models, but the electronics that came with it are made by Servonaut which I'm not familiar with. The electronics came with German and some English schematics that are designed for RC trucks but it doesn't show you how to wire and connect some of them together such as the THOR 14, the sound module, and the MFR. I went on their websites to see if they have a better schematics but they are the same that came with the model. I figured out some of the connections but I still need some serious help.
I've been building RC models for more than 20 years, I can scratch build and do anything mechanical and get by with basic electronics, but when smoke starts coming out of the circuits I start dialing RC 911. I've already smoked one of the THOR 14 circuit board while I was plugging it to the battery. These electronics are not cheap and I don't think I can bare seeing another circuit board go in flames due to improper wiring, damn that will break my heart.
if you know anything about these electronics and how to connect them together please email me. Here's the list of the electronics that came with it:
1-Servonaut S-20 ESC for the throttle motor
2- Servonaut MFR, I think this one is for the front blade since it supposed to be connected to the 2 limit switches attached to the blade gearbox.
3- Servonaut ML-4 lights controller, with multiple LED.
4- Benedini TBS mini sound module
5- x4 THOR 14 motor controllers
Here are the websites of the manufacturers:

If you need me to post pictures of all the components please post a reply.
Thank you all in advance.
