Sounds like it may be losing power when current is called for.
Assuming your battery is good,check all power connections,especially battery plugs.
Main power switch is another weak point on heng long tanks.
Also look at the soldered connections for the power supply on rx18 board,a dry solder joint could cause this symptom.

Hope this helps a little and you sort it out.

sorry for late reply have to fit around work. found prob . yes you was right was a dry joint on rx 18 board re done thanks for info
