Hooben gearboxes

Post by Model Builder 4 »

Evening all,

I have an old set of hooben gearboxes for their t-55, they have me stumped though as I set the tank up yesterday using a spare heng long board just to test it out but the problem is that when you push forward on the throttle stick it turns right and backwards on the stick turns it left :crazy: you don't have to be sherlock to guess that to get it to go forward and reverse the stick needs to be pushed either left or right so its like the functions are reversed. I have tried all manner of changing the combination of the motor wires around but to no avail. I also tried it this evening with the ibu2 board that is going in it but it's exactly the same :S any ideas of what is going on ? :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Ps. all other functions are working fine.

You have the channels mixed up, swap your throttle and turn channels

Thank you very much Tom :D indeed they were, I have 6 ibu2 boards and all channels are set up exactly the same except this one :/ It was easy to rectify with the ibu2 changing the channel leads over on the receiver but I could not have done this with the heng long board which i tested it with first, is there any particular reason why this is different ? :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
