Default dX4c steering problem.

I've noticed if I try to steer right left real fast the servo stalls. Does this with different servos. Is this a problem with the radio?

Is there an adjustment for speed on the radio menu i know on the 4s i can make adjustments to how fast the steering turns or perhaps you have to much amp draw are you using an external bec?

Yeah I'm running a cc bec and 7990th. It's fine crawling but just goofing off I noticed it stops if I turn it back and forth real fast. Tbh this is my first spectrum and I'm not all that impressed.

Have you tried feeding the servo directly from the bec and the reciever from the esc i have a dx3c and dx4s and havent had an issue in the two years ive owned them but have been hearing alot about issues with the new avc capable spektrum radios

When it happens, you should see the orange light on the RX go off... if it's the case, you have a power problem to the RX/Servo/BEC...

You could use a glitch buster capacitor on the RX, or power the RX independently from the ESC and the servo by the BEC.

Sounds like the avc is doing it's job and trying to correct for what it sees as overcontroling.

Ya I agree it could be avc, but only if you haven't disabled it.

Sounds like a power issue to me. Power the servo directly with the bec and use the esc internal bec to power the receiver.

Let me guess your receiver is a SRS4210. This has AVC enabled which can not be disabled. Pick up a SR410 or SR210. Your steering problems will go away, at least they did for me.

Nope its the sr410. My light never goes out. I think it's an issue with the BEC>
