Default 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!!

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?

Done 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

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.

I never got a response from him on mine when I sent it back for repair (my fault) it showed up in the mail a little over a week later fixed... NO CHARGE! Robin really stands behind his product!

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

You may try calling Mike Mann at Hobbytown Concord, 925-685-3802. He may be able to point you in the right direction and get you results

Funny you should say that seeing as I work there! I was just looking to see if anyone had input until next time I'm working (Thursday) so I could get the truck running for the course!
