Hello there. I'm having the same problem here. The past few days, the tank was working fine, and then the recoil unit started acting up today. I opened it up and took a look inside but I can't seem to see anything wrong. What is the best way to resolve this issue. The wires are not in the way so I know it is not that flash cable. The motor works but seems that the slide gets stuck 1/4 way on the big gear wheel. I have to push the barrel to help move it a long.
