I agree. You need to disassemble the lower hull remove the electronics and gearboxes give it all a good washing and then reassemble. Once you have a clean start you can reassemble it. Then start testing. It looks like your Tiger has been run quite a bit outside and in the mud. Before you attempt this again seal the lower hull to make it more water tight.

If your underside of the turret is covered in mud then I'm sure the rx18 has been exposed to moisture.

I'm afraid your board may have been damaged by water or moisture. Or the upper hull wiring may have been damaged by mud and water.

Take it apart. Clean it up and seal up all the holes with silicone. Then slowly reassemble.

At worst when the new electronics are installed they will be better protected.

That was my thought, liquid mud means water, water and electronics don't mix. Wet mud on every plug means short circuits and a damaged board. As said. Strip the tank interior, remove the battery. Wash all of the mud out. You can even remove the RX18 from the case and wash it. As long as there is no power going through it, it won't suffer any more damage. Just make sure that it is all bone dry before reassembly, leave it in a warm room for a couple of days.

If it still doesn't work then a multimeter will reveal where the power isn't going, and it might be that the RX18 has to be replaced.

Ash when you remove the rx18 from the case it should look like this without any signs of moisture

This is the same dual sound setup

I havent driven the tank through mud or anything wet, just through dry grass, very dusty dirt and concrete. I dont know why it looks like mud

I cleaned up the chassis enough where there shouldn't be any connection problems

This is after i connected a wire to the ground and to a black negative, the lights no longer turn on, the motors work but only when the individual wires are plugged in. I don't know what to do
