RE: Tamiya Pershing in progress...
Tankcarl was installing his receiver battery, clearly shown in his photo. I just PM'd him about it too. Tam system powers off the DMD/TO. It clearly says in all the Tam instructions to NOT use a seperate receiver battery. On Pershing, see bottom of page 21 of instructions. You don't have yours in there, and you should not put it in. Doing so will fry the Tam system.
