Lost Aux Channel function CAPRA

[Basement16]

Did not notice until out on the trail that after installing a hobbywing 1080 esc, no longer have the DIG function.
Checked wiring etc, all good.
Maybe it was just coincidence, what do you guys think?

And, when on an incline the truck rolls slight backwards when throttle is released. I've tried playing with some of the 15 different settings, can someone tell me where i can change that setting so it stays planted?
Thanks

What radio system are you using?

Is there any movement from the servo, any noise?

Can you move the dig lever by hand, does it seem to be hung up on anything?

What servo are you using for the dig function, what servo saver?

What happens when you plug another servo into that channel?

Did you set the 1080 bec to 7.4v and your electronics (perhaps stock RTR) are only rated for 6v?

[Ninomaniac]

Drag brake and drag brake rate are the settings you want. Drag brake is how strong it holds the truck, and rate is how suddenly it reacts to you releasing the throttle, in lack of better explanation.

I see two possibilities. First (as also pointed out by vinnieb729), if you set the BEC to 7.4V, you probably 'killed' the SX107 servo operating the dig. This is a piece-of-garbage servo, and or maxes out at 6.0V. The second possibility...also related to the SX107 being garbage...is that it may have just "died a premature death", as the SX107 is known to do.

I'd be willing to bet that more people have had problems with the SX107 then any other servo ever produced. Heck, I'd be willing to bet the SX107 has had more 'problematic' units then any other two servos ever produced. In building my first Capra, I went through 4 of them, before finally giving up of the dig (instead of disassembling the transmission, and rebuilding it without the dig, I just zip-tied the dig lever into the 'locked' position).
