Right i started the tank up today and it started fine, but that was it nothing else would work, i can literally just turn it on and off, so i put the crystal into another controller and everything worked fine, it is not the batteries as i used these in the other transmitter as well, i also opened it up and could see no sign of broken or loose wires has anybody had similar problems and know how to fix it

LOL you know me to well, and if i dont have a resolve by the end of the week you know what will happen

My T34 does the same. I have an RX18 in there with a Darkith unit. I asked Dave at Darkith for his advice and he told me that there appears to be some problem with some crystals, tx boards, the RX18, and some old/new HL transmitters.

All I know is that if I fit one of the original channel 3 crystals it seems to work ok, but an 08 makes it do what yours does. I can switch it on, the lights come on, but I can't start it. If I put an 03 in there it is fine. It's weird, but maybe David is correct?
