Well I tryed Doug's suggestion with the Tx and Rx with no difference, so I checked the main battery for the motors since Chrys says thats when his speed controllers go crazy, and they were low, topped up the charge and they work like a charm. Thanks for the great advice guys. It's good to sometimes step back and have someone else point out what you've been missing. Often when I can't find a tool or part and a tore the place apart looking for it, I get my wife to help and she walks in and finds it within seconds. I guess when your mind tells you it should be in this area it blocks your eyes from seeing that it is actually some where else. LOL
