Default HELP...DX3R PRO Glitching

Like the thread says. Took a break from the nitro scene for a few years. Just bought a new DX3R PRO...Long story short, never had any glitching before when I used the DX3R.....never even heard of 2.4 having issues.

Soon as I put power to the RX my Airtronics servos doesn't really glitch around it just makes noise and the throttle servo does glitch around a little bit. Anybod have any ideas on what I should do? It's been a few years and I don't recall having this issue....

Steering servo is Airtronics 94780
Throttle servo is HITEC 985MG

Just running a Nimh batt pack....They seem to be charged (should never have sold my hyperion duo) I only recall my servos acting up when the RX packs got low on juice, the packs have sat for 2 years but they power everything up and I get seemingly normal action out of them

??????????

could be the servo looking for center, usually steering does that. glitch to me is when the car does not do what i tell it to or does something i did not tell it to. if you have other servos i would plug those in and see if they do anything funny or maybe swap out the 2 and see if it continues. then do a range check in the street.

Try changing the framerate from 5.5 to 11.

I will look into the framerate. I really liked my old DX3R because it never gave me any issues. This is driving me nuts. I know it's not looking for center. Soon as I get the TX near the RX it just starts buzzing.....and when I barely turn the steering I see the throttle servo move......pretty bummed to spend all that money on the new PRO model and I have this issue

Just checked the TX 11 is the default frame-rate. The moment I turn the RX on the throttle servo starts to jiggle back and forth, just slightly and the steering servo makes that typical "glitchy sound" everything functions correct....but it's not right I am at a witts end.

I've seen this before. Try going into the Reset menu and select.calibrate parameters. Give it full steering right and left and full throttle throw full forward and full brake. Finish the reset and try it again, the glitching may go away.

So far this is all I could come up with. The Airtronics servo has sat for about 2yrs

Just bought the HITEC today.

I unplugged everything. Plugged the BATT into the RX and just plugged the HITEC servo in. No problems, nice and quit and no glitching.

Unplugged the HITEC and plugged in the Airtronics and right away got the buzzing sound. So the HITEC only acts up when the airtronics servo is plugged in.

Hard to believe anything could be wrong with this servo, it was almost brand new when I stored it for 2yrs. The airtronics servo is a DIGITAL so I even tried just running it on the 5.5 frame rate and it still had some buzzing sounds going on.
