We've taken the tabs off the new ones, and made sure they're in far enough, but nothing has worked yet. Does anyone know what to try next?
Try a straight PWM cable from the RC, and make sure when you pull it out that the pins look straight. If they arn't when you pull the cable out, that means the pins arn't going in the socket correctally. Otherwise, call IFI and get them replaced, but its pretty unlikely that you have a bad one, much more likely one of the pins just isn't going in straight.
