Default 5625 Problem

I have a problem with some 5625's. These have the "Modified July 2001" sticker on them, so I thought the old overdrive problem would have been fixed.

Specifics: 8103 Tx, JR R600 Rx, 6v 1650 NiMH.

Problem: When the travel adjustment is set anywhere above 100% and/or the dual rate is above 100%, the servo sometimes stops short of full travel. If I just barely move the Tx stick off of the stop, the servo jumps up to full travel. This only happens about 80% of the time. I'm using them for dual elevator servos, so you can imagine the havoc that would be played in the air. This happens whether I'm using a Y-harness, or separate channels. They also appear to be moving at different speeds, again only some of the time.

It appears to me that the servos are defective. Is the programmer capable of fixing a problem like this, or should I just send them back to Hitec?

Thanks,
John
