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.

could be to much liquid in it than it would not smoke, i could be broke to but not likely because its new, but don't expect too much of it

RE: Smoker doesn't work
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!

RE: Smoker doesn't work
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
