Gee JT...this is turning into a real enigma ....when you tested the motors and various hook ups...on or off the gearboxes?

They were on the gear boxes Alpha. I just unplugged one set and plugged in the other. I just tried a fresh battery, no difference. Also tried off centering the trim as jackalope suggested, that did help a little. Completely stopped the fore and aft noise but when I start to pivot ,the tank makes the noise. The noise completely goes away in all moving functions when the tank gets underway. It's just when you start out. Enough for today, brain is melting. Thanks everyone.

The next thing I would do Jt is to check if the gearboxes are binding in any way...I had one that came from the factory where the cages were tweaked a little binding one gear..I just loosened the screws...spun it with my hand ...tightened the screws...and the bind was gone..re lubed it and now it's fine
