Problem with install of rx18
 

I have hooked up the new board and receiver in my Sturmtiger I bought from Blitz.But when i push stick for left turn it goes right:eek:Tried switching the motor switches but the tank turned left and right but the forward and backwards was reversed.Here is some pics of how I have the board so far.

Leave it how it is now, but just swap the polarity! If you left an right is correct now swap the polarity an your forward and reverse will be right! I ha to do that when I attached the heng long Pershing metal gearbox to the Matorro King tiger boards and it work great!

I am not very good at electrical stuff.What do you mean by swap the polariety? switch the black wire for the red? Tried that same thing:D

Ok kenny if your forward and reverse are OK? Then for example if you have the left motor, and you have the matorro black wire coming from the motor to the heng long board black wire and the motorro red wire to the heng long board red wire? You need to cross them,, Matorro black wire to the heng long red wire and Matorro red wire to the heng long black wire!

Well that may have confused you I see how you set the motors up! Try this if you have the black wire on the top of the motor put it to the bottom an the red to the top, you will get a different result!

Excellent Kenny,

It is a cool looking model but they sure did not put much engineering into the mechanics or the electronics!
