Planet T5 2.4ghz Controller

[subdvr]

Hi Guys,

Re posting as a controller issue. I have a planet T5 5ch transmitter with 2.4ghz 6 ch receiver.

Heres how it works right now (currently mode 1)

Right stick gives left and right (spins the tank) no problem has revving sounds from dmd, pushing forward or backwards on this stick does nothing, no sound anything, no movement.
Left stick: Push forward or back operates gun elevation
Left stick: push left/right operates turret rotation
Left stick: push forward with trim up gives Main Gun shoot
Left stick: push down with trim down gives machine gun

Tried all sorts to get the tank moving forward or back, cannot get it going, had the handset in bits, inside there are 6 micro switches, these are in the following configuration: (default as purchased) I suspect these control the channels.
1=up
2=down
3=up
4=down
5=down
6=down

Any ideas on getting this controller to give forward motion?

Hi Brian

Yeah, still sucks!
No idea whats wrong, probably going to switch transmitters if I get nowhere, I do have a spare one I use for a heli, not 2.4ghz though.
Hopefully one of the gurus here will know whats wrong.

At last, seems there is a set of switches in the back of the controller as mentioned above, bit of trial and error and quite a bit of lost patience, all 3 of the first three switches need to be up, it now travels forwards! Yippee
