Hi,

Yes, the switch on the mech. recoil is good and functioning. All of the lights ive installed (mg and front light) are fully functioning as intended.

Hi Like,

Thanks for the response. I only added those 2 functions in an attempt to fix the issue.

The mech recoils were tested in my pershing with the Tamiya Control board and the limit switch functions as they should.

Hi all,

Hoping to get some advisement on an problem im having difficulty solving. Searched the forum but havent found any info to solve. I have a Tamiya panzer IV with the original Tamiya mechanical recoil unit that the motor cycles continuously the minute i turn on the power. Ive tried multiple settings in the OP config to no avail. I also tried another mech. recoil unit from my tamiya pershing; same thing. Cannon sound and hi intensity flash trigger properly.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my project. Still needing some weathering, color modulation and pin washes but its pretty close to finished. Pretty happy with how the internals got organized.

I feel fortunate that i was able to snag 2 Open panzer TCBs before HK discontinued them. Really wish a new supplier is found.
