Default Smoker doesn't work

Hi All,

I received my HL Panzer lV f2 last week. Everything works well except the smoker. Does anybody have a fix for that? I understand it’s a common problem.

I agree, it is a common problem.........but I think it's wrong of you to suggest that only smokers don't work......non-smokers don't work either! Finding afix allsolution for laziness isn't easy though! Let me know when you found the cure!

The fix that seems to be the most popular and reliable is to VERY carefully remove the smoker from the tank and then go outside and throw it on the concrete as HARD as you can................Its happened on all three of my HL's and it solved the problem every time! Smokers look fake anyways(until they can produce black smoke) and just make a mess...not worth the hassle in my opinion.... RCCommand has some nice upgraded style smokers but they still produce that lame white smoke...http://www.rccommand.com/Whats_new.php

Just get the RCCommand smoker shown above and all your smoking problems will be over. You know smoking is a bad habit. Especially for a Tank.
