Can’t get slave unit to work in cradel

You also have to have power to the slave too.

I will have to try that.  Don’t remembering doing that with the others, but I must have.

thanks

The slave's motors get their power from the pickups on the slave, not through the tether.

Yes, if you try to run the slave dragging you will throw traction tires and over load the lead unit.  Will not run right, so you need to figure out what is going on.  Normal slave board failure is running all the time or run only one direction.  That is for PS-2 engines.   So check harness connections especially motor leads.

If your lights and such worked you probably had power to the slave unit.  As Chuck said, that is required.  G

Since it works fine on the track via DCS, the motors are working.  It was just not working in the cradle, but I did not have power going to the slave.  I am sure it will work when I put power to both.

Missed that part of your post.  But if no power to Slave your lights should not have worked either, so maybe your tether just not connected completely.  What you stated kind of a contradiction.  G

Got the second set of power leads hooked up to the slave and they both work in the cradel.

thanks
