Gregg, can you send me a pic of how you have everything hooked up and what all your settings are?
How do you have the sticks configured for driving?

Wibbly is rctr's elmod guru, give him a pm and he will be able to help.

What version of the ECO board are you using? Are you using a Spektrum receiver?

I believe early versions of the board had an issue with activating the first channel of Spektrum receivers.

What gearboxes and which drive profile are you using? Could be that the board doesn't know what to make of them and isn't throwing enough power at them...

Yes it is a Spectrum Rx and TX .I have had it running before with no issue.All i did was to hook up the main gun elvation and turret traverse.
That is all that is different now. It drove fine before i completed my wiring which s why I am a little stumped.
Everything is connected just where it should be.
I am starting to thin that the Tx batteries are weak, so I will have to get some new ones.
The tank just seems like it has a mind of it's own just like one would with weak batteries in the Tx.
It has all functions, just no control. I checked everything else, all connections are sound

Hmm.... A picture of your setup could help.

I have actually been able to sort it all out. Appears this set up is very dependent to the trims. Now this being my first Tx with Digital trims it just took me a little while to get things set up correctly but thanks guys for the help.

Glad to hear you sorted it out.

This brings up a question, who can we go to in the US for el-mod problems?   If we need a repair where can we send it?   I know there were a couple of times I worked with Phil on bad boards etc.   I even had to send a tank back to him with a mystery problem that had all of us stumped.   He  found out it was a HL Flash that was causing a system shutdown.    I'll admit with Phil gone I hesitate using my el mod tanks heavily.   He even sent me the programing device for the older el mod system so I could reprogram my Abrams.   Where can we go now?
