Ok, one more thing. I just tried a few options and here is where I am at. Im positive the crystal in the reciever works with the controller because I have another plane I tried it in and the radio transmitter and crystals work great. Now something is going on with the reciever I think that is causing me problems. I took the ESC off of the reciever and plugged another alternate nicad battery in the battery port of the reciever and everything twitched the exact same as when I gave the thing power from the Li-Po running through the esc. So its getting power, the esc works because its beeping, just the reciever is giving everything funny signals. Now I know im plugged in right and everything is snug, the reciever antenna is going off another direction so not to be close to anything else, is there something im missing for set-up on the reciever?
