Tiger 131 drive control question

Post by John Grima »

Hi everyone, currently I'm getting the radio mounted / calibrated to the tiger 131 w/ 2016 motion pack. When I hook everything up to the radio the two front sprockets run at full throttle uncontrollably. When I connect a simple servo to these same channels they work fine.

I remember encountering something similar to this on the elevation on my last build and to fix this I had to throw a dip switch. Do I need to do something similar with these channels too? I just wanted to ask on here before I go and tamper with anything

For the radio my specs are listed below,

Futaba 14SG 2.4ghz

any help would be of great use. thanks John

What receiver do you have and do you know which mode is being used (FASST or S-FHSS) ?

on the RX it has FASST on the label. As for which setting is on the radio... I'm not sure I want to say that it is at the stock setting as I just opened the packaging.

Yes that looks to be the exact problem. I went ahead and sent the radio back in place for a different unit. The unit I had was a bit overkill for what was needed. Thanks again.
