I don't know why your Helios would have trouble with analog servos as your Helios is analog too. Are you running the spektrum with it? Maybe its in "Da Slow Mode" as the Spektrum is called.
The only true digital radio system in 2.4 is the Nomadio Sensor and soon to be available React! I use hitec digital servos with my Sensor and the speed and torque is fabulous compared to analog.
