Running a hitec 7995tg. If I turn the wheel right to full lock, the motor will surge and the 645mg will try and operate. I'm pretty sure that wires are not crossed, rubbing etc.

Also, the steering servo doesn't want to operate at full power. If I come to a full stop with the wheels turned, if i try to turn it back without moving forward, it will not turn. If I add power to it(driving forward) it seems to work just fine. I've got a CC BEC running directly to it and its the only thing on it. Running a 3s lipo as well

Also, I'm running a JR XR3 radio and I'm trying to setup this dig unit. I want three positions for the dig, 1. freewheel 2. locked 3. normal. This radio has an adjustable position from -100 to 100. How do I set it so that I can pick from one of those without scrolling through the numbers and watching the servo move slowly...

Any ideas?

What voltage do you have your CC BEC set at, I think they come from the factory at 5V?

correct, it has not been altered at all from factory voltage. Could this be the problem? If so, I can take it to my LHS and get it altered with the castle link correct?

That is one of the problems , BEC should be set to 6v .

looks like a 45min trip to the LHS is in store for me....if they can't do it, I'm assuming I'll have to send it off correct?
