Hi guys
OK here is my first head scratcher. My right stick is making the tank go left and right when pushing up and down and the tank go forward and back when pushing left and right. I have attached pics of my controller and mfcu. Please anyone is there a way to change this?

Try swaping the motor cables around in the sockets? Sounds like one of them is in the wrong way around

I've tried that and tried a different hand set and it still does it.

when you say it goes left when pushing the stick up is 1 track turning 1 way and the other track turning the opposite way ?

Odd. I would’ve thought the motor wires were backwards. Maybe try to rebind your receiver with the transmitter.

Could be the wires in 1 of the plugs are the wrong way round so turns in opposite direction making the tank turn left or right when suppose to go forward

When I push up the tank track turn opposite ways and when down again opposite ways but in reverse. When I push right both tracks go backwards and left both forward. Happens on both hand sets but when I try my old mfu they work perfect.. the only reason I changed it out was because the smoker gave up and burnt-out the chip next to the plug. It's weird I ame across problems like this with other rc things but you just pull all the wires and start again but the tank only has the 4 drive wires and now servo control for steering.

I honestly think you have a bad MFU. I have read that many of the gold label 5.3 MFU's have this issue. Many were functioning normally and just switched the steering and throttle channels..

the track that turns forward when signaled to do so is ok the 1 that goes backwards needs the wires in the plug swapped over so it turns the same way
