Hi Guys,
I finally have my sons tamiya tiger 1 all set. I had some issues with the cannon and machine gun firing properly and I got those squared away. However, during forward movement the tank will suddenly jerk forward. It also stopped and restarted itself a couple of times it's just doing some strange stuff. Not very consistent movement. Any ideas??? Thanks again in advance!!! tigerbrett

you might be sharing a frequency with some ones tv remote or some other radio device.Also check you reciever and speed control(if tanks have them)

Make sure the gears fit tightly.

How is the antenna installed ?
dont just put it inside the Tank, make sure you dont coil it.

When battery power goes low, strange things happend, mak sure the battery is fresh.

Hi,tigerbrett, I've got the Tamiya Sherman (full Ops. as wel). And in the beginning I had the same driving problem. The solution was simple: Always use fully charged batteries, and don't fold-up the remaining antenna-wire. That did the job in my case!
Share some photo's if you can!

All the best, John.

Try www.rcpanzer.de and don't be afraid because its german..they have some english
captions and it should be no problem to add a query in their forum and get a reply.
they got 2 articles about the tamiya Tiger I and its flaws--unfortunately in german only.
