Hi guys,

I just bought a brand new Taigen Tiger 1 with the new V2 Electronics package in it.. But, there seems to be an issue that I believe to be the motherboard..

The smoke unit is wired into the new board via a plug.. This setup allows you to turn on/off the smoke unit via the remote.. However, this morning, the smoke unit is stuck on, and is no longer proportionate.. It's getting full power as if the it's running straight off the battery.. The remote will not turn off the smoke unit.. Tried to rebind the tank 4 times, with no success in the smoke unit changing.. Stuck to on setting.. Pulled the battery and let it sit for a while thinking the system would reset.. Nope.. Same thing..

Doesn't matter if the remote is on/off, from the minute you turn the tank power on, the smoke unit is running full power, even if you don't turn on the tank with the remote..

The minute you flip the tank power switch, the smoke unit comes on full bore.. This has lead me to believe, that the board itself has fried the electronic switch on the motherboard and is now locked open.. With full power to the smoke unit as if you had the throttle wide open..

Note, everything else appears to work fine.. I have disconnected the smoke unit for now.. But I'm not impressed with this, given the $500+ price tag on a tank that is less than a month old.. Are there any better electronics packages out there for this? Or do I just have to suck it up and buy a new V2 board?

Taigen doesn't do phone calls I was told by them.. They prefer you to go the e-mail route.. I'm not a fan of that..

If there is a more reliable electronics package out there that I can buy, that's fine.. I realize I'll have to buy a different radio to boot I figure.. But what's the best package out there for this?

Thanks for your help in advance.. I appreciate you all..
