[FTC]: Need help programing HS-785HB (1260) Servo in RobotC

Hi everyone, we purchased a couple of the 1260° Quarter scale servos to take advantage of the increased torque with our rack and pinion. We are having a problem controlling the servo. We assumed it would be just like a regular servo what you set the angular value and it will travel to that position. We can't seem to find a way to stop the servo from rotating at any position. We looked around and cannot find any documentation on the servo. Has anyone ever program this? Are we missing some key element? Our code is a simple test program at this point. (we have tried this is a continuous rotation and a standard servo). We simply asked the servo to go to position X wait five seconds and go back to zero. The servo does a different thing every time. I am assuming the problem is not the servo is we have to of them doing the same thing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
