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

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?

Re: Hi - I need some help my old tanks moving
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?

Re: Hi - I need some help my old tanks moving
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?
