4) You have the correct crystal for the controller?

5) Nothing happened to it?

6) The rx ports are correct?

Can you post a pic of your bot so I can see it? Just how the motors are setup, etc. Make sure the battery and all that fun stuff is plugged in right. How long have you had the kit? Try switching it to a different channel (5 or 6) because I know my controller joysticks wasn't giving full power to the motors, but the buttons were.
1. I'm running off of the default code for now. No programming.
2. For single joystick control, I do have both motors in ports 1 and 2. As I said, it did work with the tether, its just the wireless communication that's going haywire.
3. Yup
4. Both original crystals are in their respective locations
5. It was working just fine yesterday until this problem occured. Nothing happened to it for this to be a consequence. In short, it did it to itself.
6. Rx ports are correct indeed.
Did try changing channels, nothing happened.
pic attached is of the controlloer. You may not see the antenna module because I placed it under the robot. Remember, it did work with the tether, its just the radio control that's becoming problematic. Thanks
