Default Clark/Benedini question

Hi guys,

A couple questions for anyone who may know

I have a Clark TK22/ TBS mini combo, I notice while running the tank if I fire the main gun, the drive motors recoil and the gun fire sound comes from the Clark, but the Benedini engine sounds immediately quit until I start them again.
The battery I was using to test is several years old but was fully charged.
Motor recoil drawing too much current?

Also, what is the purpose of using the y harness shown in some tk22/tbs mini diagrams to connect tbs mini prop2 to clark ch2 and the steering ch on the rx, as I have also seen prop2 plugged directly to the steering ch on the rx and ch2 on the clark to a different ch on the rx.

I tried both ways and don't notice a difference.
Really like the tk22/tbs setup though, and it sounds great.

Thanks

Rob

I think the "Y"harness was for a different stick configuration for driving. If you have throttle on a seperate stick maybe? I ran all my tank movement on right stick, so I threw out the "Y" harness and it worked fine. I would maybe try a new or newer battery. You could try unplugging your motors from the Clark just to see if TBS resets. The battery could have good voltage but low amperage. Check wires and connections for good clean connections and solder joints, if any.
