Changing the servo plugs around will fix his problem, BUT why does he have the problem? Why are the two controllers different?

Try the receiver.....Different tx have different assignments....example....I used to run on a GWS tx with my planes, I bought a new Hitec Flash 5 and I had to chane the servos on the rx pins. Give it a try.

I tried diff crystal but it still dosen't do nothing. The plugs aren't in the wrong places because one remote works and the other dosen't

RE: My remote controls wrong things!!!
It sounds like you just have the swtiches for each channel, "reversed". If we knew what kind of Tx's you had, it would be easier to describe, but just look to see if you have little switches for each channel. My dollar will bet that they are just switched wrong. Most Tx's hide these reverse switches, check on the base of the Tx (usually where they battery tray is), or sometimes they are up by the crystal or by the trims......I doubt there is anything else wrong. And as stated, it can't be that the servos are in the wrong spot on the Rx, because the other radio controls them correctly.....but it would help if we knew what radio you are referring to?

RC freak, they cant just be switched, then it would simply be a matter of throttle going break on the servo and left going right on the servo. He is saying they the reverse is controlling throttle and steering is controlling reverse. Knowing the brand of the second controller would be a HUGE help.

This is not a servo reversing problem. Servo reversing would fix the wheels turning right when the steering wheel is turned left.
It can be that the servos are in the wrong Rx slots - one transmitter may send the streering as channel one and the throttle as channel 2 while the other transmitter does the opposite.
The test is to swap the servos in the slots.

Ah, I understand now! I breezed through his post, and thought he was having problems with the servos not going in the correct direction.......yes, we need to know what kinda hardware you're using (radio gear)....it would truly help 
Thanks for the correction guys! Even I am misdirected from time to time

Are they plugged in the right slots? If they are swap em anyways.
Then call an exorcist, paint satan on the hood and call it Devil Maxx[sm=punching.gif], that would be cool.

That is crazy, man I wish I could help but honestly I can't even venture a guess as to what would cause that. I agree, stick with the one that works.

RE: My remote controls wrong things!!!
well i need to get them both to work because i'm selling the other one with my Maxx. I think I got this remote from a trade and the truck was messed up so the remote might be in the same condition.

RE: My remote controls wrong things!!!
Now I am confused. How many receivers are we talking about here - one or two ? Please describe your setup in more detail so we can pin this down.

RE: My remote controls wrong things!!!
O.k. I have 2 stock remotes. One remotes works fine with my truck. When I try the other remote the steering controls the throttle. And the shifter controls the steering. Wahts the deal???
