Troubleshooting RC Tank Infrared Battle System Issues with Stug Ausf and KV-1 Tanks

As a newcomer to the world of RC tanks, I recently purchased two Hen Long IRTanks, including the 1:16 R/C S&S Green KV-1 (Super IR Version) and the 1:16 R/C S&S Stug Ausf F/8 III Tank (Super IR Version), which came with an Infrared tower. However, I've encountered a problem that has left me puzzled - my Stug Ausf tank doesn't react to being hit when my KV-1 tank fires at it.

The issue is not limited to the Stug Ausf tank alone; I've observed similar behavior when switching the IR towers between both tanks. When in battle mode, the KV-1 reacts as expected and 'dies' after being hit five times from the Stug Ausf tank. However, despite flashing its light from the cannon and recoiling when it fires, the Stug Ausf tank doesn't respond to being shot at by the KV-1.

I've tried troubleshooting the issue on my own, but I'm not an expert in RC tanks, so I'm unsure if there's a simple fix or setting detail that I might be unaware of. The seller has suggested that the problem could be with the receiver board in one of the tanks, but without further assistance, it's difficult to pinpoint which tank is at fault.

Is the Stug Ausf F/8 III (super IR Version) defective, or is there an adjustment or setting that I need to tweak to get it working correctly? Could it be a problem with the KV-1 not emitting enough light when it fires, or is this not how infrared battle tanks work?

If you have any experience with RC tank infrared battle systems or have encountered similar issues, I would appreciate any suggestions on what might be wrong with my tanks. Perhaps there's an easy fix or adjustment that I'm unaware of that could resolve the problem.

In summary, I've described a peculiar issue with my Hen Long IRTanks, where the Stug Ausf tank doesn't react to being hit when in battle mode with my KV-1 tank. If you have any insights or expertise in this area, please share your knowledge and help me troubleshoot this problem.
