Help with T99A issues.

And here is the picture you asked for:

I have tried that and all the controls are now messed up. The right stick moves the turret and the left stick drives the tank in reverse!
Any commands on the transmitter I can do? Thanks ! Dai

Surely you haven't mixed up the wires from the M1 motor with the M2? You only have to swap the Plus and the Minus on the M1 engine and do the same with the M2. If you connected the motors correctly and didn't touch anything else (you switched in the remote control) it shouldn't happen ... Send the MFU picture with all wires. Without photos, it will be very difficult to say something.

And what version of MFU are you using. 6.0s? If so, you probably switched to two sticks drive.
Use G + Left stick down to return to normal steering mode.

I do not understand why switching wires on the motors mess up the command assignments on the TX? Any way to reset the MFU? Dai

The black plug of motor 1 goes into the red of motor 1. The red plug of the motor 1 goes into the black of motor 1. I do the same on motor 2 and now the stick assignment went haywire. Dai

Since I don't know what else you were doing (what else you pressed on the remote control while trying to repair), I am trying to give you possible ways to fix the problem. If you don't want to do this, don't. It's just difficult to help from a distance without seeing how your wires are connected and what you pressed on the remote control trying to fix the error in operation.
Reset - Removing power may or may not fix the problem. But you probably have 6.0s electronics and dual stick control. You should have a manual where it is described.

You should only get a polarity reversal and the motors are spinning in the opposite direction. HL messed up the cable marking and some motors require reverse connection. Nothing else should and shouldn't change. They're just engines with + and - . They either turn one way or the other depending on where the plus is given.

Take pictures when you have it all connected.

And as I wrote before, if you have TK 6.0s - check if you do not have the second control method switched (G + Left stick down)

The version is 6.0S. Dai

I am at work so I do not have access to the tank but I will post a complete photo of my set up for you to look at when I get home . I cannot thank you enough for the help you offer. Dai

Hi all,

Just got home and got the wires reversed as advised. Still no go so I switched the wire motors meaning M1 now goes into M2 and vise versa. And black still goes to red and red goes to black and it works! Thank you all for helping me on this But I learned a lesson. This is not Tamiya tank with Tamiya electronics. It does not have Futaba or Spektrum electronics. These are nothing more than expensive toy grade hardware and software ( yes I was brought to my attention from a comment here) so I should not expected too much as I did. As long as I have this realistic expectation now I should be happy of what these HL tanks have to offer. I think the reason why the tank could not do a spin is due to the suspension was arm out of place and prevented the idler wheel from turning as seen on photo. Dai
