On the bright side I have isolated the problem & it has nothing to do with the pins on the rx-18 board.
The problem is the wire or the motor for the tanks turret(up down, left right) if you disconect the plug for this than the tank travels for approx 40 foot, when connected it only travels for approx 7 foot.
I can only conclude its some kind of electrical interference(which was one of my first guesses)
Has anyone come across this before and know any solutions?
I'm going to try and fix it so the wire is as far away from the reciever board as possible & i'll let you know if that works!
