yeah, i thought so, Jon.
but i think Jerry was asking to see ours (the ones with issues) to see if something stood out.

What version of firmware are you running?
sv2
i have been running my sv2 for a long time i have no cogging, the only thing i had an issue with was i had the spektrum pro radio couldnt get the truck to do nothing i had to turn my throttle end points all the way to 150 percent after that it has been fine. i run 1 battery through both systems, if you need pics please let me know

i dont have cogging... i have nothing.
i would like a pic of your setup.
so far, you sound like you have the closest setup to what i have.
im running a spektrum dx3r. ill check my endpoints.

My spektrum dx3e would not link up at all. I went back to my flysky and after reversing the throttle it works fine. But on 2 packs.
Radio linking
When I binded my receiver to my radio I used a standard receiver pack, binded it, then I programmed each esc seperate, I plugged one esc in at a time to the receiver to program the esc, with those done I hooked my traxxas y harness up cut one red wire and it was perfect. I first had to call castle to figure the end point out for throttle they told me to max it out on mine it was 150 percent, because my esc would not program at all until I did that.

I want a Claude Buster . . . . . . .
I am sure you will keep us updated... I am still curious about the cogging issue.

I was considering ordering these to run off of 1 battery too, i think im gonna wait until you hear something back.

I just don't understand how a weak signal could not run both ESC's. Its not like they should be drawing some insane amount of power off the signal wire.. should they?
I wonder what's so special about the new sidewinders compared to the older ones and every other ESC on the market that stops them from working together.

If I had the money right now and could justify the purchase I would pick a couple SV2's up to mess around with......
I did want to see a picture of your guys setups to see if anything stood out to me, as for the Tx/Rx question I was curious how many were running the 3rd channel if they had a 3ch Rx as opposed to a y-harness. I don't use the y-harness myself in any of my 2 esc trucks. If it is 4ws then i use a reverser on the rear servo.
But for the life of me I cannot understand how they can opperate independent of one another then as soon as you fire up both it goes haywire. especially if you are running voltage hungry servo(s).

I sorta agree with this, my opinion is, if there was this "signal" issue why didn't it show up in the original sidewinders? I sorta feel this is a point the blame on something else instead of manning up and accepting they changed something and theres a need for them to try and fix it. I have never had a problem with my original sidewinders cogging and I sure as h*** am not going to upgrade my radio just to run sv2's(if mine wasnt compatablie for a aux channel, which i think mine is)
