completely baffled, servo works on one rig but not the other?

[Lushtrucker]

ok, so I converted a servo to use as a winch, plugged it into the rx and nothing, occasionally it would twitch but that is it.

tried it in another rig and works fine.

swapped rx's between the rigs, still works in the same one and doesn't work in the one I want it in.

both rigs are on the dx3r with sr3100 rx's, both use sidewinders, the one it doesn't work in has a castle bec, but i even tried it with the bec not hooked up.

any ideas?

Where do you have your BEC plugged in at? When you disconnected the BEC, did you reconnect the ESC's red wire? I have my BEC plugged into the BAT/AUX port on my receiver. I have no issues running 2 servos.

Also check the frame rate on the DX3R and make sure it's set at 11ms and not 5.5ms. If it's not a digital servo it wont work on the 5.5ms frame rate.

Just something to check out.

actually, I had the bec powering te servo directly and just the signal wire plugged into the rx, using the sidewinder bec for the rx. and yes, when I removed the bec I had everything hooked up properly to the rx.

that is something to check, it is a 645.

[MCSCOTT]

Yup, the 645's wont work on 5.5ms.

Check it out and let us know if that's the case.

[Lushtrucker]

will check it as soon as I get back home. the more I think about it, I am almost sure that is it.

[Lushtrucker]

ok, that was it, I knew it had to be something with the radio system, that was the one setting i didn't check.

Thanks for the help!
