Heng Long Tiger 1 7.0 gun elevation unit

[mrNejc]

Hello, I am opening this topic as I have not found any existing ones for my issue.

I own a Tiger 1 with a 7.0 board and my elevation mechanism broke. I searched on motion.rc (europe) and they have 3 available:

https://www.motionrc.eu/products/heng-long-1-16-scale-tank-gun-barrel-elevation-unit-type-4-hlg6020-014

https://www.motionrc.eu/products/heng-long-1-16-scale-tank-gun-barrel-elevation-unit-type-5-hlg6020-015

https://www.motionrc.eu/products/heng-long-1-16-scale-tank-gun-barrel-elevation-unit-type-6-hlg6020-016

None of these are listed as being compatible with the Tiger 1, so I asked support and they replied they currently do not hold any compatible elevation mechanisms. I then asked if they know which elevation unit type would be compatible so I can search with other sellers aswell, to whcih they replied that they do not have that info as HL hasn't provided it.

So now I'm asking here if anyone knows which one is compatible and if perhaps even one of the 3 on sale at motion can also be used in a Tiger 1?

Thanks in advance and have a great day !

The only difference between all three shown is the length of the "lifting arm". You can easily modify the arm to make it longer or shorter as needed for you tank.

thanks for the reply, so I can just cut/sand it down to length as needed then ?

Show a picture of the broken gun elevation unit from your Tiger. One of the members here should be able to help you find the right unit.

HL changed the gun elevation design a few times over the year. But you should be able to find the right one easily. Not every unit listed for HL Tiger would work for your Tiger. But HL spare part supply is very good even for older tanks.

Was the connection to your elevation unit good? Does the motor turn when you move the second stick on the radio up and down?
