Have you checked the sense on your tail motor? If you turn the heli quickly counterclockwise by hand, for example, the tail motor should work against you and speed up.

Tail rotation will always be CCW viewed from the right side with the stock tail - but the most important thing is that it generates a force that counteracts the rotation of the heli when you turn the heli CCW. If that isn't happening, there's no way the heli will stop spinning.

You probably have your tail rotor wire polarity reversed on the board.

i figured it out on mine, the tail gear from the motor was slipping so i put a DROP of super glue on the hole in the middle of the gear and now it works awesome!
