hi guys,can anyone with a good electrical knowledge (as mine isn`t but i am learning)tell me why after fitting plastic gearboxes into a heng long pan tiger,forward on the transmitter is now reverse and reverse is now forward,it was a pro version but i robbed all the good bits for my tiger 1 and everything on that works fine,it`s not a major issue ,its just bugging me,any thoughts would be great.
ps the pantiger was a present,i didn`t part with my hard earned cash for it.

Re: h/l gearboxes
if you have the rx 18 you have them in the wrong way round you need to swap the wires round at the box to the motors
i found that out or the red and black wires on the motor have been soldered on wrong
cheers Derek

Re: h/l gearboxes
A quick way to check them is to look at the motor bodies , there are 3 'slots' - the single slot has a red wire (+)nearest , the double slotted side has the black (-) cable . If they are correct - try swapping the plugs over at the RX 18 . 

to the bouncy room ! Yay !

Re: h/l gearboxes
thanks for the reply gents,i should have mentioned it isn`t the rx18 ,i think its the rx14,i just cut the wires and then soldered them to the wires on the motors,ie i joined the wires together,not direct to either the board or the motors
