I thought the battery was dead, but when I look at by watch it had been only about a half hour. I know the battery had a full charge. When I went to shut it off it was not responding right away. Also when it was running I had problems move the turret to the right. After I took the battery out I put in my panzer III to see how much juice was still in it and it was flying. So I put the battery back in the Tiger, but only the lights would flash, but no start. I’ve try switching crystals, batteries, and the controller. Nothing works for the Tiger, but I double-checked with my Panzer III and everything was fine. I even open the Tiger up to see if there were any loose wires, nothing. Does any one have any ideas?

I opened the Panzer III (first time in the 2yrs that I had it) and does Rx18. It has an older system that my I don't know.

I had a similar problem sometime ago with Panzer III and it turned out to be the TK101 (Receiver Board) 

I had a spare which I swapped in and it fixed the issue. Something you may want to check if you haven't already
