Punk dig problem
 
So I searched and couldn't find anything so here it goes! I set up my punk dig wi an fxr and my dx3r. I haven't changed any of the adjustments on the radio except making the "E" switch my aux switch. My problem is when I use the the rear dig it works fine, and when I'm in 4wd it works fine. Now when I go to do front dig , I get 4wd again, any ideas? Thanks again!!

You have it set as "AUX 3P" correct??

Yup!
The function itself works fine but when I go for front dig it stays in 4wd

Travel for that channel set to 100% for both high and low?? Trim set to zero for that channel?

You bet! Still same problem

If you switch Motor 1 and Motor 2 leads, does the problem follow the motor?

Do you hear a nice click when you switch to the side that isnt working? Does the LED change colors?

I do not get a click but the led does change according to the commands I give

Done "thumbsup" kinda sucks that it didn't work straight out of the box but that's more than fine I know complications happen I'm not upset with it at all

Right out of the box mine never got power to thr front motor, posative pole had 0 voltage. I sent it off about a week ago.

If I remember correctly the guy behind punk dig works from his house so who knows what the normal business hours are...

Yep, normal business hours for Robin are spent at his 9-5 job....where he gets terrible phone reception.

Ya hopefully I get a response today on it! If it is just a defect hopefully I can send it in or get sent a new one!

It's also possible that one of the diodes is bad. I got a used Punk with busted diodes a while back and the light would change, but there was no Click and the motors stayed on regardless of the position. I soldered on some new diodes and it seemed to fix the problem.

However, if I had gotten the Punk new, then I would have sent it to him for the repair.

Good to hear! Did you contact him first and talk to him or did you just send it right in?
