Default Punk dig question please help

So I just got my xr10 running. It came with a punk dig. When I tried to go in reverse it puts on the dig. It also required me to run a 70:30 power bias other wise it would put the front dig (burn) when I had it on full throttle. Is it shot? How do I fIx these problems? I'm using an mt4, Brxl, punk dig,2s Lipo,and a hitec 7950 servo.

Sounds like some channels are mixed on your mt4? Do the lights change color while any of this happens?

Also what are you putting on 70/30? With the punk and one esc there is either all four..... Front two or rear two...... Basically I'm pretty confused on what you have going on vs what you say you have. Guess good pics of install and better discription of what's going on.

And with all that you should have external bec..... But has nothing to do with your problem

So when I put it into reverse, a solid green light on the punk dig turns on and only the front wheels spin, the rear ones lock up. It would lock up the front wheels at full throttle, so I programed it so the rear axle would spin slower than the front which eliminated the problem. And when it locked up the front, a blue light turned on on the punk dig. All of this happens without me even hitting a switch. I didn't install the punk dig and it didn't come with any documentation. I will work on pics later.

Did the radio come with the rig, or did you have it before??

Sounds like it's your radio (you added it to the rig) and a setting is off. I ran a servo dig off a Futaba 3PM-x and had no issues.

Do you have a Castle Link? You could also check it's settings to make sure it's 100% speed forward & reverse.

Again not sure what you are locking up or what you are programing to have axles to spin at different rates. Punk is used with a 3 pos switch to either run one axle.... Both axles or the other axle...... That's it. Totally independent from throttle.

Unless you have that odd little 2 channel punk dig and I have no clue how that works, sounded all odd to me years ago. I bought 3 pos third channel then.
