Hello
Has anyone had the following issue with the Nerf N-strike Elite TERRASCOUT remote controlled tank?
The issue is the gun turret will not lower.

It will rise if the gun turret is manually depressed first but will not lower again. Every other function appears to work e.g remote control turns and drives tank, gun shoots.

The remote control also shows the turret elevation rises and lowering on screen but nothing happens. No motor sound even when trying to lower turret. Motor sound is present when it rises though?

I briefly opened the gun and could not see any obvious broken or lose wires or parts?
Any thought or suggestions would be appreciated. Can you buy replacement motor for this nerf product?
Thanks

I didn't have this issue with my son's Terrascout, but I did contact Hasbro recently about finding a replacement battery (long story, but it and the charger got lost) and they just told me that they no longer support that product. No help at all.

 

Speaking of the battery, could you take some pics of yours and post them? I am sure I could track something down.

 

 

Cheers!

You can likely Re-wire the terrascout for LiPo

Hello Ragnorak Flames
What do you mean by rewire the TERRASCOUT LiPo?
Thanks

Hi did you ever figure this out? Mine is doing the same thing

Probably needs to be opened and repaired. NERF/Hasbro don't usually warranty these kinds of things so it'll be a DIY and by the seat of your pants.
