Hello,
I have been having a bear of a time narrowing down a problem I am having with my throttle, which I think I have narrowed down to the radio. The problem is the throttle does not operatle smoothly, and jumps around. None of the other channels exhibit this problem. So for example if using an electric motor I start at idle and move up one click at a time, at about 30-40% it will jump to 60% and them jump around, and sometimes if I go to 75% it will actually decrease throttle. I tried different receiver and ESC, but the same issues. I also tried hooking a servo to the ESC channel, and it was just as erratic. Is this something that could be the radio, if so is it something I can fix, or do I need to send it in?
Thanks,
CP

I went ahead and sent it back to Hitec for service.
