I have a new M12 using the RX-471 receiver I have a new Hitec HS-5585MH
servo that wont work I have tried it on other cars and it seems to work fine on them using associated receiver or a spectrum reciever is there something I am doing wrong I have tried in Normal Mode and SHR Mode but all it wants to do is tick.

I dont know if this will help, when u change mode from SHR to Normal (vice versa) re-bind the receiver again otherwise the receiver will stay at previous mode eventhough u have change it on the radio. In your case, maybe the receiver is still in SHR mode which I guess is not compatible with your Hitec servo.

mode shall be the issue. i will use sanwa servo. i have the sanwa srg's servo so that i can utilize the ssr mode.
