I'll bet when you've done the test its the Tranny.
Tin Tin is right it will have to go to Mc Gregor service dept.
Like you said Ben Transfer all your models into another DSX9 Mine was wiped clean when it came back.
Ring them before you send it, I think they have certain days when you can talk to an engineer but check their website.

Ben,
      I have a copy of the MacGregor Dataxchange software to back up your tx to a pc. I have not tried it with a DSX9.
I am going out shortly for a while, but as soon as I'm back I will test it with mine and let you know if it works.

If it does your welcome to borrow the lead and software

EDIT: according to the MacGregor website it is compatible and I have just tried it ok
Drop me a PM if you wish to borrow and we can sort it out.


Cheers
Mick

Ok, two faults here.

The first fault was a twitchy servo, so swapped for another and the twitching has stopped.  My 700 never twitched on that channel either.

Second fault is the centring problem which must be the tranny.  It lost centre a few weeks ago (affecting all models) then re-gained last week.  Maybe it was a one-off (hopefully) so will wait and see if it happens again before sending back.  It's not dangerous, it just knocks my trim out a bit.
