Hoping some one can help me with this.
I have an Airtronics M8 radio, it has a Spektrum module and the car has a Spektrum receiver with a Hitec HS-645MG throttle servo.
When I press the throttle on the M8 by about 1/16th of an inch total movement the servo moves about 80% of it's total movement.
Basically when im driving the car I have no real throttle control...I go from no throttle to full throttle by barily touching the trigger.

I have tried a different servo, same issue.
I have tried clearing the profile in the M8 and setting all the functions back to 0...same issue.
I connected a different radio and receiver to this car and do not have this issue.
Whats wrong with my M8? http://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/bawling.gif

Thanks,

sounds like your throttle expo is set really high. check to see if it more than 0. if it is, set it back to zero

I think your issue is running gas R/C, kidding the only thing i can think of is same as Pancartom, but resetting the models should have fixed that. Try bring it down to the local track or calling Airtronics.

You may also want to try to rebind your receiver to your Spektrum module just in case.
