Default Strange Tiger Problem

Well now here is one for the books.

Why would suddenly and with no changes to anything, not batteries, no new wiring would the tank suddenly start moving in reverse when you push the stick foreward?

It operated great the day before. Hummmmm. Any ideas?

More info does it move forward when you put it in reverse, or is it just a stuttering first movement??

If it spins arround on its own and begings to talk you might want to find a bottle of holly water and a bible ...

Well if no physical things have changed then your receiver board is going, or your trim on the radio is all the way in one direction, that is why I asked the question above! OR possibly a bad crystal but then it usually does not work at all! One other thing is this indoors,, where you are getting some extreme frequency Interference, not likey but could be possible!

Hey Phil,

I think the Xmitter is going bad on me. I changed crystals on the Xmitter for my other tiger and it worked just fine. Strange though.

Just in case though I did get some holy water and I have a priest on standby. If the Tiger starts shooting pea soup I'll be ready!!!

Torpedochief, I know of one instance where, without any modifications of any sort, a twin-screw model ship suddenly had one of its motors reverse direction one day, causing it to sail helplessly in circles. Both motors were plugged into the same ESC, too, which was even more strange.

funny things can happen sometimes.. I had a VERY strange thing happen to me one night with a RC monster truck..

Me and a buddy were just bashing around on totally different channels when all of a sudden my truck reversed..Forward became reverse and vice versa.. That was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.. I shut it off turned it back on and still the same thing???? SO i'm thinking what the hell just happened? did the circuit miraculously alter itself? hahaha anyways after it sat for an hour it fixed itself and hasn't done it since.. To this day I have no idea what had happened.. But if it happens again, I think it's time for some holy water like Torpedochief suggested. [&:]
