beastX problem

[adrianhn]

After weeks of waiting it finally arrived...just spent the last several hours setting it up,treble checking all the settings,been through everything..responds fine whith one BIG exception.....channel 1 elevator gitters and shudders badly,its not the servo as I tried 2 other new ones (Align 610s)even the slightest touch on the case it jumps and jitters.As I rock the heli back and forth the servo moves by very jerky,the others resond smoothly as expected..Any ideas or have I managed to get a duff one ????....never had any problems with my Skookum or Align.....

[waveydavey]

I don't think you have a problem, none of my cyclic servos are smooth, they are all jerky into position. There is a post about it on the Beast X forum and they give a better explanation

[millerman]

now you mention it mine do to ! does not seem to affect it in the air !

[Paulo uk]

Mines the same!!!

Flys great though.

Depends how bad sometime you need to do a TX & beastx reset, out of the 3 beastx I have one gave me problems only when I reset both it solved the alie servo jitters.

Hi
do you mean reset the Beastx to factory default and then reprogram ?
I hav read the other replies but am load to fly it yet,neither my Skookum nor the Align behave like this..all advise is most welcome before I make a large hole in the ground followed by my pocket too....

Mine are smooth - no jitters.

Are you sure its not bad mounting - use the White tape with the beast - remove the centre on Nitros.

Check again the servo frequency on the cyclic - should be 200 for 610's

[Paulo uk]

Op - what servos you using out of interest??

[adrianhn]

610s and have tried a new one just in case....will do a reset and another setup just to see if anything changes...lets hope......not giving up yet,will tame the beast one way or another...will keep you posted as I fear this wont be the end of my woes.....

[Paulo uk]

It will be worth it.

have done factory reset,done full setup again.....ch1 jitters badly rocking the heli back and forth....think I have a duff one......hey ho......should have bought a Vbar

I have two beast X, one on trex 600n and on 700n.
I run spectrum HS6040's cyclic align 650 tail.
Both units v1&v2 are smooth as a vergins thighs
I also run ElyQ regs on both @ 6v to cyclic servos.
I set up a v2 Beast X on one of our chaps 600esp with align
620 servos also smooth in movement he is well chuff'd with it.
try to keep all wiring secure but not tight and routed all round the heli.

To solve mine I done TX & beastx reset the other thing to mention when you set 'J' it must go blue" so long as you don't go beyond 8 degrees pitch but as near to 6 degrees if poss.

I have a Skookum in my ElyQ,an Align on my Raptor 90,but work fine and have no problems at all...I have even now taken the MB out and have it on the bench ,factory reset,rebind the reciever,another new memory in the DX7....plugged in more servos (Align 610s)...if I roll the unit by hand fast or slow,servo is like your virgins thighs...when I rock it for and aft the fun begins,if I tilt it very slowly it behave reasonbly well ,rock it quickly the servo goes jitters like mad..as I said I can roll the unit quite violently in roll and the servo moves smoothly..do it for/aft,jerky
is the sensor faulty ???...all very depressing

I would be supprised if the problem was the beast X itself.
not that i know but perhaps the frame rate on 610s do not suit.
i would assume it needs to be fast enough to keep up with the MB
perhaps thats why the movement is jerky, gaps in the puls band
