Solder the loose ends of the power supply cable to a battery connector that fits to your battery type. Use the included shrinking tube to
insulate the soldered wires.
The module supports off-the-shelf ESCs. Hence the power class and motor type (for example brushless motors) solely depends on the
attached ESCs which gives the most possible flexibility to the powertrain.
Consider the correct polarity of the 3-pin connector of the ESCs! The minus pole is oriented to the lower edge of the board. See the board for
explicite markings.
Ensure that the power supply of the ESCs is correct. Consult the manual of the ESCs for further details like interference suppresion or cable
cross-section.
To check the correct wiring of the motors perform the following procedure:
• Jack the tank up, so that the chains can move freely.
• Attach a full charged battery to the power supply connector and switch the electronics on.
• Wait 3-4 seconds and press the pushbutton.
• The chains start to move. They change the running direction every 4 seconds. Release the button when both chains move forwards and
the light chain runs faster than the left one.
• Go ahead with the installation when the motors run in described manner.
Connect the white 8-pin turret plug to the corresponding connector.
• If using the genuine HengLong LED muzzle flash, attach it's cables (a 5-wire and a 2-wire cable) to the board.
• If using the genuine AsiaTam turret mechanics and high voltage muzzle flash, proceed as described in the
manual of the units.
• If using the genuine Tamiya recoil unit, attach it to the corresponding connector on the board. The white cable
faces the edge of the board.
Please read this document carefully!
HINT: The function of all connectors is printed on the back side of the PCB!
Warning! The use of the switch and fuse is mandatory! Fire hazard when disregarded!
