    There are many models with "Tiger" in the name.
    e.g. Thunder Tiger make cars, boats and planes, as well as engines for them.
    Super Tigre make aircraft engines
    There are a few plastic planes called Tiger
    Can you be more specific?


    BTW ... we normally service/fix our own models.
    For difficulties outside our ability - our local hobby shop where we buy them provides the extra technical backup that is necessary from time to time.

    That's a real problem if it doesn't work....:eek:

    Did you have it going already (and then it stopped) or was it like this right from go?

    Do you have a voltmeter?

    Coolwings,
    The model was working fine ,then for no reason it stopped. It hasn't been used outside ,so no water etc. could have damaged it. I opened it up but can't see any sign of damage to the pcb and all wires seem secure .
    I can get a voltmeter tomorrow .

    Most likely it is a damage to either the receiver or the speed controller.
    A voltmeter will prove the battery is fully charged.
    Then a metal bridge wire direct from battery to motor terminals will establish if the motor(s) is/are ok.
    If battery is ok and motor ok too you are down to receiver or speed control. They may be both on the same circuit board.

    Good hunting for your gremlin!
