HL Tiger arrived......having problems ..Help !
Hi folks - Hen long Super version Tiger 1 arrived from Mato Toys last week. Ran it in the house through two batttery charges (like 10 different power up periods). Now the tank won't respond to the start command on the controller. When the tank is switched on, lights flash, but I can' get it to respond to the start key on the remote. The instructions written in boken English mention a 5 minute wait period at startup. Does anyone know what that is for? For the first 10 powerup periods I just pwered the remote...switched the tank on...and then immediately hit the start key with no problems. Now, I tried to wait 5 minutes before hitting start on the remote...but it made no difference (thought maybe both crystals had to settle in to talk). I tried charging the battery again overnight just in case it was a power problem but I don't think that is is because I have been able on one occasion get the tank to start again (after several failures to respond it just kicked off) ...and then run with vigor once started..... It seems as if the start command from the remote is just being intermittently (or hardly at all now) being responded to. Any thoughts on what I should look at? I was really enjoying the thing when it was working and I've only owned the tank one week.....in your experience will I get anywhere with taking the problem to MATO?
thanks......JP
