Well I took the take apart yesterday. First I swapped out motors to the black long can motors I have in my tamiya Pershing. How would have guessed the black wire was really the red wire.I only had black and white wire to choose from. So now I've got to take it apart and swap the leads. I also have one motor that goes faster on one side.I did brake in the motors with the transmittion.
I looked at the breech and everything looke find. Tried shooting it off the tank and it worked. I think I had a 1/2 a bb stuck. Put everything back together and it still does what it did before.Nothing!It makes the noise but does not fire the bb's.
I did take out the smoking unit as it never smoked from the start. I also noticed the wobble in the road wheels without the tracts on. Can these be fitted with ball bearing or replaced with the tamiya stuff.
After taking this thing apart you really get to appreciate a Tamiya tank.But this will get more people into the game and oportunity for someone to make some hop-up parts. Otherwise I can see this as a throw away tank - remove the combat system and reinstall it in a new tank.
