Default T34 CONVERSION TO HL-HELP

Hi guys. I was trying to convert my WSN T34 to HL BOARDS. I managed to get the tank running and it worked great but I don't know what wires go where to hook up the Turret rotation/barrell elevation, and the sound. I also discovered another problem with the HL circuit board I got from MATO. These boards are the TKRX13 boards. They don't have those ports to plug the T34 Turret Rotate barrell elevate control. I am at a loss on how to resolve this. Looking at Wacky's T34 coversion the boards he used were the TKRX14. I guess my question is where can I get those boards? I really don't want to have to shelve my T34 as I like how this tank looks and runs. So basically if anybody has a pic of what wires go where or where I can get the TKRX14 boards that would be a great help.

Hey Snowtank, I stopped at the same point with my T-34, I put the Panther boards in there and got the thing mobile and turret turning but not the other features. Hopefully someone can post some pics to help. Did you order a Panzer IV?

The pins that the connectors attach to on one side of the board, should have a corresponding solder on the other side. I'll have to check when I get home to make sure. For the turrent and sound, I just followed Wacky's photos from http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Ewackywheelz/t34/

Ok thanks. I think I can sort out the sound part of it. Just seems that there are extra wires either from the Turret elevation/Rotation or from the Mato board plug. I tried to match the colors but ended up with extra wire from the Mato board so I knew I was in trouble.
I sorted out the wires and labeled them as best I could but I am not sure if they are correctly labelled.

I am familiar with the "One More Tank' syndrome, I lump it in with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, things that don't exist !

No I shelved it because I don't know how to hook the current boards RXT13 to it. I tried looking at a Pershing rebuild that had the same board but must be even an older version as the board itself is different again. Totally confused now.
I had snipped off the plugs from the T34 wires because the boards didn't have the ports for them. I thought I could wire them in directly but theirs defintily a mismatch of wires. I tried to sort it out but it got confusing and frustrating. So frustrating that I ordered to a PZ IV to make me feel better. Still though the thought of 1 Tank not working in my collection and it's a one of a kind because it's the only Russian tank is dissappointing. Can you restore my faith?

wackywheelz, what if you 'shoot' using the left stick (airsoft)? In those 2 videos I only see the simulated shots from the 'k' button.

I have the Left stick up, or airsoft wiring to be specific, operating the barrel recoil ([link=http://youtube.com/watch?v=8KVmdgE811g]video[/link])

You did press both the left stick and the K button, is it?
And does the muzzle led flash too? I could not see it in the video.

Yes I looked at that guide. I will look at it again and see if a "Clearer Mind" will make sense of it. I will get back to you on that if I get stuck again.

Thanks

I'm still going back and doing bits and intend one day to sync the recoil / flash / tank jerk / sound.......one day!!
