Default Tekin RS hesitation / Spektrum problem?

I dont think there are any 'settings' on the RS that would alter the effects of what you are seeing. It all seems to be a signal related issue. Maybe Randy could shine any more light.
I have never used the transmitter for air, it was bought for car use. I wanted Spektrum because in air circles (my farther is a long time flyer) the Spektrum 2.4Ghz system is considered by many to be the best (I don't want to get into a "who's the best" debate by the way) and the DX6i is very reasonably priced for the spec. compared to car kit. I would have bought a "surface" set but unfortunately Spektrum only make wheel sets for surface use. I have spoken to Horizon Hobby about it in the past who say it is fine for surface use, someone at our club suggested it was illegal to use a 2.4GHz air set for cars but that is complete rubbish as the requirements for 2.4Ghz kit are identical for air and surface. My experience with it to date has been great, the conversion to sprung throttle is relatively easy and the 2.4Ghz has been bullet proof. It is a real shame that it seems to have issues with the Tekin as I really don't want to have to replace it.

If Randy can't help then I guess I may have a one week old RS for sale
