Assembly
•
Remove the original PCB carefully. Do not damage the sensitive connectors and
thin cables!
•
Replace the original electronics PCB with the ElMod M16. It fits exactly in the
present mounting holes. Fasten the board with two screws.
•
Attach the original cables to the corresponding connectors (power supply, main motor, steering servo, turret section, lights). Take care!
The connectors for the power supply and the main motor may be accidentally swapped!
•
Attach a proper RC-receiver (4-channel) to the corresponding cables. The wire color pin assignment is as follows:
Ch.
Control
Function
1
right stick
Acceleration
2
Steering
3
left stick
Turret, weapon and special functions

The ThinkTank M16 provides the power supply for the receiver (BEC, stabilized 5V DC) via the red/black wires which are part of the
proportional cable set.
Depending on the receiver it may be necessary to adjust the channel order or swap its movement direction.
Check the manual of your rc gear for details.
•
The receiver may be placed in the hollow space above the drive wheel (see picture)
•
Connect an appropriate loudspeaker (8 Ohm) to the speaker wires.
•
Jack the vehicle up, so that the chains can move freely.
•
Attach a full charged battery to the power supply connector. Switch the RC-radio and the ThinkTank M16 board on.
•
Both LEDs comes on after 3-4 seconds. If a LED remains off or blinks, see the following table to determine the
cause.
L1 (status drive functions)
off
No power (check the battery and the main switch)
blinking
No receiver signal detected. Check the RC gear!
on
Operational
L2 (status sound function)
off
No SD-Card detected or faulty card
blinking
Communication problem or faulty hardware
on
Operational
•
move the left stick to the upper most position to ignite the engine. If another function shows up, check the wiring of the receiver and the
setup of your radio! Disable all mixers in the radio. If necessary check the function and mapping of the radio channels with a common
servo
•
adjust the volume if you don't hear the engine noise
•
check the drive, steering and light functions
•
switch the power off and attach the turret section
•
power on the board and check the turret functions (rotation, elevation, shot) with the left stick of the radio
•
the vehicle is now operable
