Default RE: Mixed Tamiya Electronics issue... maybe?

Well all, I tried everything from recaliberating (moving shy of the extents and also going to full extents), changing the leads on the motors, to checking/rechecking every wire and polarity, and I still get one of two behaviors.

1. It behaves as my original message states, if you move forward, you can gently turn left or right. If you try to move foward while the stick is in a turning position, it kicks to the opposite direction.

2. This is almost the exact opposite of #1. If you move foward then try to gently turn, it will turn in opposite directions. If however you move foward then kick it either hard left or right, then it will turn in the correct direction all be it very fast and hard.

I can switch between problem 1 and 2 by simply reversing the servo on the radio. It's almost undrivable while battling as it's hard to always make gentle easy turns while you're getting shot at.

I'd rather not rip out my Tiger I DMD/MFU from my Bandai IV as I'm guessing it would simply work just as it currently does in the PzIV. I'll have to look into getting either a Sherman MFU (unlikely as I'm using gun recoil) or a Pershing DMD in order to have full matching sets since the mismatched isn't working out.

If anyone else has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Thx again you all, I appreciate all the help.
