Default novak the dig problem... help!

running dual fxr's (calibrated, used hotwire to be accurate) on my xr. since i don't have the funds for a 4pl at the moment i grabbed "the dig" to get things going. set up the dig per the instructions, and the functionallity aspect works as its supposed to. my problem is that in what ever direction i'm going (forward or reverse) in 4wd, the motor on the leading end of the truck runs at the correct speed while the trailing motor is MUCH slower. this does correct itself if the trottle is 40 to 50% of the way in. the less throttle i give it the slower the trailing motor turns. very frustrating since i'm trying to crawl and most work is done at low speeds... anybody know why this could be??? i've double checked and reprogramed everything i can. thanks in advance

Both, you never mention setting the ESC's to the radio, only setting them up with hotwire. The dig only learns neutral, it has no effect on speed.

No genius here, but my guess would be hes running a NOVAK Dig unit.

i thought that since i had calibrated everything it must have been an issue with the dig. the problem was that when i calibrated the seas esc it didn't take after the first two attempts. sorry for the inconvenience. thanks to those who offered suggestions
