Ok. Last night I managed to figure out why the turret was limited. There were two notches that were not cut off that was preventing the turret from turning all the way. Tamiya should have cleaned these if the cover to the hull was never attached to anything.

So I performed all the steps (including those suggested above by you helpful members) and have all my wires hooked up as stated in the instructions and with this configuration.

Ch 1 - RUD

Ch 2 - Throt

Ch 3 - Elev

Ch 4 - Aler

Here are the only thing that work....

Left stick - controls turning movement ONLY when you push the stick in the diagonal corners
Right stick - controls turrent movement
Sound


Here is what does NOT work....
Forward and Reverse
Lights
Machine Gun
Cannon
Movement of Cannon (up/down)

Could I possibly have a bad DMD, T5, Receiver? All of which are new. Have spent 3 days total at night (from 10 - 12:30 am) trying to figure this darn tank out. I'm about to pull my hair out.
