Hey Guys...great forum! I am building my first tank and could use some help. The manual says when installing the turret "align turret projections and rotate as shown." I understand aligning the notches in the deck with the projections in the turret but manually turning the turret with the gear engaged to the turret rotation unit is not possible. Does rotate as shown mean under power? If so I am led to think that if the batteries are completely dead (unable to rotate the turret) then it would become impossible to remove the turret.
I hope I am missing something. Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Don
Hi you can rotate the turret manually if needed,the rotation unit has a slip clutch so you wont break anything,besides your tank will stop moving well before the turret stop working as batt power gives out. And of course if you dont want to move the turret by hand you can always access the batt by removing the deck plate which is held by two screws forward of the turret, also detach the rubber air hoses at the back which of course you didn't already superglue on
