But whenever I turn the wheel and let it center again it shakes again. It seems that this is also drastically reducing the the charge life of the reciever pack.

Just wondering whether anybody could shed some light on what may be causing this issue? Whether it be a servo or reciever problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Gary,

I currently use in my Xray RX8 1/8 Scale Onroad the KoPropo RSX Servo's and myself recently have had the similar issue, where the servo would start to hunt back and forth to neutral. From what I have been told by Robert Morris KOPropo USA (My Sponsor that is just Awesome) is that on Digital Servo's from time to time they need to adjust the brake response of the servo specific to deadband of intial return to neutral or something along those lines. I'm sure Robert would be able to answer this question more to the technical aspect of why this does occur and what you could do to mitigate the issue. However please note this is for only KO Propo Brand of RSX Servo's not the JR Digital Servo. Although I would recommend to perhaps contact there support site and ask the similar question.

Kind Regards

I recently bound a SR3100 with a Hitec 7995 digital servo to the DX3r and if the transmitter is within a few feet the steering servo shakes until I move the transmitter away. Havent spent to much time trying to figure it out yet cause its not my main car but none of the others do it. I have yet to swap out Rxs from another car to trouble shoot.
