It looks like you cut the RC to make room for the motor in the picture. Can you explain that?
Update, I did buy up some new crystals, and now its working fine. I probably got a bad one in the starter kit. Either that or it went bad after a few days.

As far as the motor is concerned, have a look at the attached photo (close up) and you will see I came within < 1mm of the top of the RC. How that worked out, beats me, but that's why I tinker more than plan most of the time.
