Here is my 30 minute bash - proof of concept for a slip-ring cradle. [/URL] Surprisingly it more or less worked, in fact it is the location of the small sub-board connectors next to the turret drive and the limited length of the turret drive cable that prevent this sub-boards easy relocation that poses the biggest tangle / interference hazard issues. |

Taternoggin You are quite right about the slip ring. An idea of mine is to have the main PCB control board have a hole for fitting a slip ring. With the main pcb then attached to the lower hull. This would make wiring simpler with the slip ring essentially being a part of the main board. Your cradle is something that could also be used for mounting a gyro as the more central the gyro the better Cheers kg |

NO don't wait for anything - while you are saving up for something else - you can try out a T2014. Don't know if there are any design problems,... But if the protos are functional you can have one to play with. Cheers Kg |

Hi Spud great work, so maybe a bit late to say but when I got my Leo the traverse turn was terrible and unsmooth. I found the gear on the gearbox was misshaped (another forum member also found same). I also find on the newer HL tanks the paint jobs are better but the matt paint adds resistance between the two surfaces during turning and as the Leo has a big ring therefore more surface and resistance I add silicone grease to this area to over come it. Ian. |

G'day Ian It's very early days so late at all, on my copy the ring as is the entire rear portion af the turret underside is unpainted and there is a very light lubrication of some sort present. I be removing the turret (again) to do some modding over the weekend and will also take a look at the rotation gear to see what state it is in. |

A few wins, but maybe a major loss...... The following is a progress shots of the refined mark II version of the slip ring cradle and attempts at making the turret attachment more robust. However now to the loss column, I extended the turret rotation motor and head light wiring so that I can move the small sub connector board from the underside of the hull top to the chassis and all seemed to be fine, yet when I went to turn the tank on the head lights did not flash, just in case it was a simple OC of the light circuit I tried hitting the start key anyway but still nothing. I checked the continuity of both the extended circuits and the buzz out OK, so the problem is not there, swapped out the battery but still no good, so I am currently at a loss to work out whats wrong |
