Re: tank running in wrong direction
Did you take your tank apart at any time....sounds like you got the motor wires that go to the RX crossed

Re: tank running in wrong direction
Hi,
I agree with Alpha on this.......... the wires are in wrong to the control board / motor . If you have taken it apart you might have plugged the wires in the 'wrong' .. by that I mean left in right and right in left......
If you haven't taken it apart then it looks like you are going to....
... I bought a second hand tank that ran backwards on one track so it was a simple matter of soldering the wires onto the motor the other way around.
If its the later 'plug in' units.. then its simple..... you just swap the small white motor plugs left to right on the control board ... one motor runs the opposite way to the other so its easy to alter forwards and backwards..
