glitching, BAD.

[slowngreen]

Well I've got the stock traxxas radio and rx on a slash and it just started to glitch really bad. It acts like I'm just tapping the throttle, even if I hold it full throttle it only goes in like 1/2 second intervals. Do crystals go bad? Is it the rx? Is is the tx? Has this happened to you? Need advice quick!

Try plugging your steering servo into the throttle port on the receiver to at least rule out anything beyond the receiver.

Do that and then what? See if it controls the servo with the throttle? If so, then yep it does. Now instead of glitching, it gets about 20-30 ft away and stops, then I can hear my mamba beeping like it does if the radio isnt on, then when I get close to it, it comes back on....

Sounds like that channel is going bad on the RX. It may be time to get a new one.

Traxxas electronics are not reliable, never have been for me anyways.
