You need to calibrate the Talon, press and hold the small button on the Talon labeled something along the lines of Calibrate and send the motor 1.0 and then -1.0 and then let go of the Calibrate button. The easiest way to do it is to set the Talon's speed straight to a joystick axis output. More information here: http://www.crosstheroadelectronics.c...Manual_1_3.pdf on page 7.

We had the exact same issue initially and it was solved by creating a simple program that just sends the joystick value to the motor and completing the process for each Talon. Afterwards they worked perfectly.
