Default Tekin RS hesitation / Spektrum problem?

Thanks for the response gents.

In terms of the switch on feedback, yes my RS is plugged into a futaba receiver then you get the LED 4 then LED 1 pattern that you would expect. This was a bench test so I can't comment on how it works on the track and if it has any effect on the hesitation issue. As you say this would suggest the issue is "local to my car" and the Spektrum receiver is the obvious candidate. I have tried it with another Spektrum receiver (AR500) in my buggy and it responds the same as when in the touring car. Other things I have tried, different sensor cables yes, one of them new. Different motor no, I do have a Novak SS I can put in but the X12 was running perfectly before I installed the Tekin and the Tekin LED's appear to show the sensors working OK.

I'm guessing the switch on response is related to the Spektrum receiver (see above) whether this is "Surface" or "Air" specific no idea. Yes my DX6i is converted to sprung throttle, simply locked out the right hand up and down movement and fitted the parts to the throttle stick. As far as I can tell there should be no difference in the receiver outputs, they drive the same servos after all. I have used this radio for over a year now with no issues on either a Novak GTB or the previous LRP Stock Spec. Again I'm not sure if this is related to the hesitation issue or not.
