So to be 100% certain, I'm going to go with Airtronics MT4 and a Savox servo. Any well known issue with running that combo with RX8/SC4X?
did u mention what tx it is? my two friends had similar problems. one had a dx3e, and the other had a dx3r.

with the dx3e, it wouldn't allow a castle 3800 sct system to calibrate, and it when it did it would loose the "neutral" position and reset itself.

with the dx3r, it had the same servo and motor glitching you are talking about, and no matter how many different servos or receivers he tried, nothing worked.

both radios had a bad board in the tx. it was what the tx used to find the "neutral" setting. spektrum replaced both of them with new radios. they were even nice enough to upgrade my friends dx3e to a dx3s.
