Default Spektrum Dx3R Problems

I have my rc8 in the model 1 on the radio binded to say receiver 1, and my baja 5t on model 2 binded to receiver 2, and my kyosho dbx model 3 binded to receiver3.
Lately my rc8 would not return the steering to center if i turned right it would not return to center it would stay a little right and the same a little left atfer i turned left. also the steering servo makes a buzzing noise all the time it did not used too jr9100t. I first tried a new receiver and was still getting the same results. I installed the receiver binded to model 2 and it worked fine. I installed the original receiver in the rc8 rebinded it to model 2 and it works fine. I back tracked and rebinded it to model 1 and the steering is wacky again. it seems through process of elimination that the receivers are good the servos are good and that just the model 1 slot on the radio is bad. this seems a little weird? just looking for advice? just to add i did reset all the settings in model 1 to factory with the reset model option in the radio so it rules out settings i changed in the radio. its a easy fix just not to use model 1 slot of the radio but is my radio going bad?

If you take your battery cover off the bottom what is the number on the little white sticker in there?

I had the opposite problem with frame rate.I went lipo conversion in a nitro truck but use the TEKNO clutch so I need a servo for brakes. With the 9000T in steering & 9100s in throttle slots in reciever & frame rate set at 5.5ms everything is good.When I put the same 9100s in the aux slot in the reciever & made the aux the slave to throttle channel the servo would slam all the way full brake & then go limp & you could move the servo horn by hand. The guy that figured out the problem didnt know why but when frame rate is switched to 11ms the aux channel worked propperly. I couldnt find anything in manual or on line,maybe some kind of program bug?

Check this out. Not saying that you are having the same problem but just an FYI.
