OK, first things first.
check to make sure that the battery is definitely charged and good.
Check to see that the battery feed is connected correctly into the rx 18 board. Also make sure the volume knob is connected correctly and is turned up. There will not be any sound without that knob connected.

Having put in the RX18, are you also using a Heng Long Transmitter? - I don't think Matorro transmitters are compatible although physically the same.

hi have checked all plugged in the KT has no sound control knob, i took out on/off switch lead connected it to one of the motors and it worked then plugged it back in still nothing
