HELP! Panther stopped working

[Dougman]

Can anyone help?

I've had a T34 and Panther, rotating turret, for several weeks. They've worked perfectly.

However, the Panther no longer works. I've tried charging it, and when I turn on the tank the LED underneath the Panther lights up, but then it never moves. I know it's the tank, not the controller, because both controllers work on the T34.

I don't know where to start! Can I fix it myself? I'm fine with soldering. Has anyone sent them back for repair? Do I have to buy a new one?

Please help a bummed-out fellow enthusiast...

dos it flash when i try 2 ID it?

[Dougman]

No, it flashes when I turn the tank on, but it does not flash again when ID'd the way the other tank does (and the way it used to).

Any ideas?

First try both controllers id'ing the tank. If no flash happens you know its not id'ing it. If both controllers work for the T34 then its not the controllers. Try opening up the tank and seeing if any loose wires have come about. Also check the lense to see if anything is blocking it. You can try sending it back to them but email them first.

Thanks for the help. Yeah, both controllers work for the T34 so I know it's the tank.

I will try opening it up to look for loose wires but first I'm going to e-mail the place I bought it and see if I can get their help.

if you have any more ideas please let me know. Thanks!
