I kinda am worried i might not be able to fix my RC8X but i'll give you a description of the problem i had. On start up of both the radio and the model it would connect but throttle wouldn't work and steering would turn extremely slowly that's my current issue with mine. BTW thanks for offering to help me.Probably won't be able to fix it. But I could try to help.

That's the thing i did update it last month and it work great before that. I could try rebinding and resetting it i did try to recalibrate it and it did nothing on my X-Maxx and idk what firmware i updated it to i think it was 1.2.9 but before then i worked okay. But thanks for the suggestions. Next time i'll try some of those troubleshooting methods and see if they work. Thank you so much. Update: Powered mine on found it was running firmware version 1.2.5 hope this helps.Never had that issue myself. Could possibly try to factory reset the radio, rebind, and recalibrate.
What / which firmware are you running?
I updated mine to 1.2.5 and I put mine away. Haven't used it in months. Every time since I updated it for the first time in September, its always had issues.

Another update for my RC8X, I finally got to test it today after i discovered the cure for it and applied it to mine. I'm happy to say it's fixed now! It turned out to be some settings were pre applied after the 1.2.5 FW update that made the radio unusable that was the Steering and throttle delay was turned up to 4 sec for steering both left and right. And the Throttle was 2.4 to 4.0 sec both ways so after disabled all of it my radio is now fixed and i can now use it again even though this was thread about my X-Maxx and not my RC8X. And thanks again and shout out to @DavidB1126 for giving me some fix suggestions and help with my radio issues. See you all next time i run Maxxine or any of my other rigs, Bye for now.Update with my RC8X i found out on radiolink's update page says before or after you update the RC8X's firmware from 1.2.3 you should disable the steering and throttle or channel delay. I did that on mine so i will have to test it tomorrow or whenever i have some spare time to test it. But how knows i may have fixed my radio just by fixing a setting. I'll find out soon, I want to give a shout out to @DavidB1126 Thanks for the suggestions and help.
