Re: EASY C PRO help tank drive issues!!! can any 1 solve this programming issue?

my best guess is that you have one of the motors hooked up backwards on one side of the drive train, so on the side that isn't working the motors are fighting each other causing them not to move. You might also want to check your pwm cables and Y cables for this setup.

As for the gears making funny noises you should check the assembly of your gearboxes and then make sure you add a lubricant. Lithium grease is commonly used.
