Shaun: If you have any pictures of a tutorial link to what you did please share it with me. I was thinking of removing the battery box so that everything is inside the lower chassis instead of having two separate compartments.
Gary: Yes, the 245 is a dual charger; it will work well with my son and I both running tanks at the same time.
The Tiger 1 is a Taigen with a Clark board. When I use the lower or raise elevation feature the main gun will fire. It is set at 45 degrees (right or left) on the left up stick and center is fire. I have tried to tune it out but can't seem to get it. I am not sure if buying a new transmitter will fix the problem or if it is just a function of the location of the Clark boards? My current transmitter is just a cheap $30 one I believe.
I tried downloading Digital Radio and I bought the connector cable but for some reason DR won't work on my computer. I have installed it and the drivers countless times and can't get any combo to work. Rustytrax sent me a Y cable to try but I honestly can't figure out how to hook it up. I am not sure if the servo if broken now; I don't seem to be getting any elevation at all anymore on it. Other than that everything else seems great on the tank. Firing when not wanting to is a huge issue when you are behind team members or if you are in a spot and seconds count on your reload.
I know some guys run momentary switches to use as fire buttons on their tanks. I am not sure if it will work with my Clark board or if I have the ability to install one in my transmitter.
