DX3R & berg dig problem

[80mac]

I just finished the electronic side of my berg build and I have an issue with the micro servo I am using for my dig. I am using a DX3R and a Hitec HS-81 micro servo. I have the servo set for 3 position on switch C just like my axial crawler. I have the travel set to 50 deg. each way, but it only works maybe 60% of the time. The rest of the time it will either "hunt" around the neutral porition when switched or just not move at all. The radio works great with my shafty and the servo is new out of the box, I am confused. Anyone have any ideas I forgot to add that the ESC and steering servo work and the reciever is also new.

Check the frame rate it's probly 5.5 & the hs-81 needs atleast 11.

Thanks for the suggestion, I forgot about the frame rate. But I just checked it and it is set to 11.

Try another known good analog servo and see what happens.

Mine has been doing the exact same thing. If you do not have a digital steering servo set the frame rate to 16 and that will fix it. If you have a digital steering servo then you need to get a digital dig servo too so that way it can handle being set at that 11.5 setting. If the frame rate is set to 5.5 the HS81 will not even work. I just picked up a digital servo my dig and even with both of my servo being digital I still cant set the frame rate to 5.5 because the dig servo does not work but it is not just sitting there hunting anymore either.

Thanks, I just tried setting at 16 and it worked.

If you are running a digital steering servo you it will end up burning it up if you leave it there just make sure you change it if you go to digital.
