What am i doing wrong ?? UNO >XBEE > XBEE > Uno

I want to built a remote controlled robot platform and send simple (forward, backward, left , right stop) data to the Platform using a XBEE

This is what I came up with
Transmitter:

int UD = 0;
int LR = 0;

int outByte;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
}


void loop() {
  UD = analogRead(A0);
  LR = analogRead(A1);
  
  //If joystick is Centre
  if (UD >= 510 && UD <= 520 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'S';
  }
  //If joystick is Up
  if (UD >= 521 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'F';
  }
  //If joystick is down
  if (UD <= 509 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'B';
  }
  
  
  //If joystick is left
  if (UD >=510 && UD <= 520 && LR <= 519)
  {
    outByte = 'L';
  }
  //If joystick is right
  if (UD >=510 && UD <= 520 && LR >= 531)
  {
    outByte = 'R';
  }
  
  Serial.print(outByte);
}

And this is for the receiver site:

int UD = 0;
int LR = 0;

int outByte;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
}


void loop() {
  UD = analogRead(A0);
  LR = analogRead(A1);
  
  //If joystick is Centre
  if (UD >= 510 && UD <= 520 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'S';
  }
  //If joystick is Up
  if (UD >= 521 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'F';
  }
  //If joystick is down
  if (UD <= 509 && LR >= 520 && LR <= 530)
  {
    outByte = 'B';
  }
  
  
  //If joystick is left
  if (UD >=510 && UD <= 520 && LR <= 519)
  {
    outByte = 'L';
  }
  //If joystick is right
  if (UD >=510 && UD <= 520 && LR >= 531)
  {
    outByte = 'R';
  }
  
  Serial.print(outByte);
}

The data does not seem to get to the motor controller.

I tested the joystick with a sample sketch : works
I tested the motor shield : works

I tested the XBee's transmitting simple setup: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoWirelessShieldS2 works

When I Hook the transmitter to the serial monitor I get the good values.

What did i do wrong?

SOLVED

I didn't give any values to the motors......

Stupid mistake
