Default Tank Unresponsive

Hey guys, So I had decided to fire up the tank this past weekend but when I turned it on, it refused to connect to the remote controller. It is still doing that wierd cutting out thing btw. I tried rebinding the controller, changing the batteries, but still nothing. Both the controller and the tank will turn on (the light on the controller will turn on and the fan will turn on the tank), they just refuse to talk to each other. Any thoughts on this?

Hey guys it has been a while. I decided to just take a morning to just go over all my tank again. And low and behold you would not believe what I found. All the wires attached to the volume knob had been pulled off but since my gearbox helps to hold them in place, I did not notice it. That also explains why the tank would run and then disconnect, due to the wire making contact then disconnecting, then reconnecting and so on. So after resoldering the wires, I tried the tank again and it worked flawlessly! And then my NiMh battery decided to stop holding its charge. Literally, it just reached the end of its life on the next run. Kinda sucks but at least I know my tanks works!
