I just bought my first tank. It is the Walker Bulldog. It came from AZ importer. I can not get it to run ?Also I can't figure out how to load it. Is  there any members close to North East Ohio who would be willing to help me??

welcome to the forum

I don't know if we have any members from Ohio but i'm sure someone here can help. You saying you can't load it make me think you have the BB version. One of the hatches on the turret should hinge open and you be able to load it there. as for the not running part it could be something simple as a bad battery, not charge or loose connection. if its not any of those then you may need to open it up or contact AZ importer. if you go the root of opening it up pics will let anyone here help you better. The worst thing that could happen is we help you spend money to replace electronics but for now lets hope its something simple

The pic shows just pouring the bb's into the hatch but I do not  think that is right. If you run a commander he would occupy that space. Does the ? thing at the bottom of the hatch move to let the bb's enter? I did not want to force it. I am going to a big rc car shop tomorrow to see if they can help. I have a light on the transmitter and lights on the tank. I get no response when I press the start up key. Thank you.

THe bb's should load into the smaller hatch with the safety switch, that's beside the commander's hatch.

they load into the smaller hatch

Thank you very much. I saee where they go now. When will there be a get together of this club?

there may be a indoor get together before christmas but the outdoor stuff is done until spring. If you are planning to make the drive i would wait until we have an outdoors battle. its a lot more fun

I would just like to meet some members. I am a retired truck driver. I spent 12 years crossing the Peace Bridge 5 days a week. I know some of the bridge workers. In the mean time I will continue casting cement dragon teeth. By the way my tank is running. Only question now is the  smoke. Is it the same as model railroaders use for their locomotives?

Bud, where about are you in NE Ohio ? Just curious to see what the drive would be like, but if you were a truck driver than it would be a walk in the park for you. Our outdoor meet are at Fort Erie, but indoor meet in winter are usually in Kitchener/Waterloo.

I don't know how the railroad guys smoker works, but the Heng Long ones you just start it out (usually they shipped with fluid in the smoker already). If it doesn't go after awhile, try adding just a drop or two and see if that work.

Thjat is OK. I used to deliver there and had a friend who has since passed away. It is also the home of Kaufman boots. I have traveled extensively in Canada. Even Nunavut.

Would love to see you there then. I think there is a meet planned in December in the works so just stay tuned !
