Default HL tank problem

Hi Guys

My one HL tanks is acting a little weird. When I turn the tank on it causes the sprockets to spin by themselves? I have tried changing the remote and the crystals but still the same problem. Would anybody have any ideas?

If you don't mind a drive to the Niagara area, we have a Can Am R/C Tank Club meet scheduled for Oct. 6th at our field in Stevensville; someone there should be able to sort it out, in person.

Details are on the link, the loaction map is near the bottom of the page, here: http://can-amrctankclub.blogspot.ca/

Either the RX-18 has failed or you plugged the 2 pin plug for the power directly into the motor slot on the RX-18 board.
