Default Tiger Lost Forward Movement in one side

I'm trying to get my 2nd Tiger to go and i've lost movement forward movement on my Right side. The tank goes reverse on both sides but only works left side forward. Is This a wiring issue or a Board fault ?
I think i have soldered the the board up right but i'd like to make 100% sure it's one fault or another before i buy a replacement part.

Cheers Eric

Blown transistor or broken connection/dry joint.

One wire fell off or you blew a transistor. Open her up and take a look!

you could always swap the wires on your motors till your new board arrives how often do you drive backwards but your controler will be backwards you catch my drift keeps you running

Here you go a list of the transistors and which one it is hope this helps
somebody did post up a replacement but I can't find it

on the board next to each transistor is some white lettering

Q6= left track reverse
Q5= left track forward
Q4= right track reverse
Q3= right track forward

These can be swapped out and replaced ( I Know i did it)

Regards Rob
