rc4wd excavator query

[Simon Weel]

you should have three mixes active one for each ele, arb, and rud in that order all masters, slave for all is aux, offset for all is 100, uprate for all is 100, onrate for all is -100, all sw = nor

Ok, so I have them 4200XL and there's a problem with the radio. I have to switch it on and off numerous times before it works. And if switched on, not everything works. RC4WD is looking into it, but takes some time. So I was searching forums for people with the same problems and found this post.

When I check the settings mentioned on my radio, I notice it doesn't have settings at all. Everything is set to default. So I try to set my radio with the settings posted here, but have a question. For the Mixes, there's a State-setting . Either INHibid or ACTive. Which one do I set?

And then the E.Point settings. I can't change the value for a couple of channels. For ch5 - flp 024% / 000% I can only set the ON value (024%). Tried all switches and levers to get to the OF-field without any luck.

Same problem with ch8 - aux 000% / 120%. I can set the OF-value (120%), but not the ON-value.

Is there a work-around for this?

Just wanted to mention this, I had a servo for the boom that before it went; seemed to be causing all kinds of odd stuff like tracks going backward cab turning until it stopped and I replaced it..now all fine.

I had same problem with mine, two different times. Each time a servo went bad the rest of things went weird, pump motor revved up/down, tracks moved ect. Thought the radio had issues but found to be servo related both times. Tower pro servos in mine. I don't quite understand how the feedback from a servo could translate to radio, but it is a cheep (less expensive-fine for what it is) radio.
