Default help w/ TQ3

I'm stumped.
I have a TQ3 w/ rear steer mod from TCS and TR2. When I use the tq3 that came with the reciever on the truck everything works fine except for the front steering it backwards. If I use the tq3 from my FJ-40 build, then everything is fine. This is when you think that I just need to flip the switch on the channel for the front steering. Did that. I switched channels 1-3 on the front and no difference. I believe the front steering is on ch1. When I change ch1 there is no change in front/rear steering or throttle/reverse.
Anyone have any ideas? Everything is brand new.

Nope. Almost makes me think when the reverse steer mod was done, something came loose at the back of the ch.1 switch. I can flip it back and forth all day long and nothing reverses.

So neither TQ3 reverses the channel for your steering?

I find it hard to believe you have 2 bad TQ3's... Does it work to reverse it on your other truck?

No, my original TQ3 works fine, its the 2nd one that the front steering won't reverse.

TCS rocks, Kevin is going to take care of it :-P Apears to be a loose connection in the controller.
