Default field programmer?

i recently purchased 2 hitec 5745mg 1/4 scale servos for my super. the front steering servo works like a champ but the rear steer servo sometimes works, sometimes lags, and sometimes tweaks out and goes crazy for a bit. can someone help me with this issue or explain what the hell a required hitec field programmer is?

the feild programmer is a $$$ little box that tweeks the settings of you're servo, it can control endpoints, failsafe, speed, centering, all without a computer radio. We had one at the HS I never need to use it though.

possibly, have you tried just the one servo by its self?? It could be a a number of other problems too, it could be that one of the female connectors inside the plug is loose, it could be a bec issue and that servo just drain more than th others, or you're RX has a bad connection or you're transmitter is working properly
