Hi boys, I just got a t-90 pro and the turret only goes around about 270 degrees before jamming, in both directions. What up?

Sounds like you will have to open it up and see what's going on. I had found on my Abrams, it didn't take much for wiring hanging up to stop the turret from turning. Opening it up should be pretty easy, just a few phillips screws on the bottom of the tank and carefully lift the top of the hull... you may just see the issue right then.
Good luck,
Clay

One thing to consider regarding electrical slip rings. The ones that I have seen sold for model tanks have very thin wires that are very prone to breakage. So, ironically, installing one to avoid the possibility of winding up and breaking wires may lead to actual breakage during installation. Heavier duty slip rings are sold though, so you may want to shop around if you go that route.
On the other hand, there is seldom a reason to spin the turret round and round on your model tank. If you simply make sure all the wires going between turret and hull have enough slack to handle several rotations and make an effort to balance clockwise and counter clockwise rotation you won't have much problem. Top of the line Tamiya tanks do not use slip rings, instead depending on having enough slack in their wires.
