taigen 360 rotation kit...didnt work well
i put taigen 360 roation kit on my plastic panther g tank... it work for a little while and then turret was getting stuck...i followed direction and placed the wires with double sided tape inside of turret (i tried 3 differnt locations inside turret rt side, back and lt side. 360 deg roation was working ok until i put the barrel up down and moved all direction. one time 360 roation wire got stuck inside turret gear...
i even tied the 360 roation kit wire on top of the tank thinking it will float inside the tank, it worked little while but got stuck again. disapponted...now i am to orginal 320 rotation kit
i will try it on tigen plastic tiger1 later

Hi Erik, The 360 Turret ring is sold in two variants that I know of,
A metal ring with Three bearings to ease the Load on the Turret and I have not seen one with the Cut out for the "Slip ring",
And the ABS 360 Turret Ring (No Bearings) which does have the Cut out for the Slip ring,
So maybe Mr "Luvtoflywarbird" was using a 360 Metal Ring without the cut out for the Slip Ring.
Just a thought,
. Shaun..

Oh so you are saying the daughter board that is placed inside your turret came undone with then got a wire caught? I see now, you should be able to repair the wire with no real issues there. Just when you place that little board back in there add a drop or two of hot glue to hold it in place. The slip ring is made to infinitely spin so you can spin for a whole battery while shooting and elevating if you want. However you want to make sure you don't have any tension on the cables and that your firing unit doesn't put pressure or pull on the cabling as well.

and yes i made sure when barrel in moving up down the wires are not getting caught in anything.

this is from my experience do far...
there is nothing catchng or holding the slip ring from the bottom. slip ring has to be inserted vertically up. for slip ring to not to come out its socket, the location of daughter boared inside of turret has to be near slip ring socket (on the 360 rotation gear) because when you rotate turret and move barrel, placing daughter board in wrong location can pull out the slip ring from its socket. you have to make sure when barrel is moving up & down & when turret is rotating its not pulling any wires.

so in summery
when i moved barrel & turret couple of times i hear clicking noise and barrel or turret gets stuck.
it seems like its worse when i elevate barrel all the way up and rotate the turret. because wheni have turret in mid. and rotate it didnt get stuck. when turret or barrel is making clicking noise and gets stuck i carefully remove the tank hall and looked to see what was wrong, i saw that either slip ring was out of its socket sometimes( i already explained that i tried 3 differnt location for daughter board to see which one is best in relation to slip ring so it dors not come out of its socket) and sometimes slip ring was in the socket but the wires got tangled.
