I'd say you've probably damaged the control unit by plugging a servo into the recoil port,the servo and the recoil unit both have 3 wires but they work differently.

I've never heard of anyone trying to plug a servo into tamiya electrics but as del says, I think you've buggered it! You'll need to replace the mfu if this is the case.

Yes i was an IDIOT! i fried the internals

I cannot get a replacement of the motherboard and I dont want to buy a new tank.

Do you know any motherboard that is compatible with the Tamiya motor cables and is servo friendly

If not, do you know any adapters for the cables to fit into the IBU board?
