hey mate, is it the S+S version ?
if it is, all you need to do, it turn on the controller and the tank, and the lights on the tank should flash, then on the bottom of the controller there are 3 buttons, the left hand one is a little key, press if and you should here the tank start up, and the lights should stay on permernatly (until the key is pushed again) after about 8 secs (dont know the exact time)
cheers mate, hope this helps,
Matt

I've had this happen where you hit the start button, the engine noice occurs but the tank doesn't go. Then I found out my transmitter antenna was not scerwed all the way in. Got it secured and everything worked great after. Just a thought.

Hi check the crystals first both of them open the legs a little bit and replace them also make sure they are in the correct they are marked rx tx ,make sure the light is on on the transmitter ,have had this before it was bad conection on one of the crystals .If this dosnt work you will have to open the tank up and sart checking wiring .

OK guys lets not go off in all directions as I said in my last post there is a fracture in the circuit board this has been bridged and the radio now works but I have to say I'm unimpressed the tank struggles to turn on a tiled floor then it just spins there was more control in a WASAN T34 I had the only way to cure this problem is to fit Tamiya internals with a proper radio but then the radio could still be the problem as there may be other parts that are damaged still this has saved me waisting £200 on a HL Jagdpanther with metal tracks and sprockets
