I am afraid we cannot help you at least not until you introduce yourself.
Where in the world are you, What first got your interest in R/C Armour. Basic facts bearing in mind this is a forum not an instant fix and never return site.

I don't know why, but this thread reminded me of Monty Python's "Blackmail" sketch

Ok guys
Im from Poland.

I have always some interest in tanks but did not have occasion to buy them.
I have spotted an auction of mobile models and that the way I bought the tanks.
Im new to rc world thats why Im looking for some advice how to get them moving.

Hello and welcome to the forum Greg
As you bought old tanks, there is a chance the batteries will not charge enough. Also check the battery connector is making proper contact with the mating connector in the tank.
Does your transmitter/controller have a telescopic aerial?

You can see if the little metal connectors have been pushed back further in the white nylon holder.
As for the aerial, this means you have one of two types of controller.
Look bottom right, does it have a switch with the ABC positions, or does it have something pushed into a little socket with a number, 01 or 02 or 03 etc?

Hi
Its ABC.
I have tried them after charging battery and checking with the meter if its charged.
Thanks for help.
I will upload pictures but I need to resize them first.

Well, you have to make sure both the tank and the controller have their switches on the same letter.
Do you know about the tank having a start sequence once the controller and tank is switched on?
