hey guys,
I'm a bit confused about my car glitching it only seem to glich when my car is going (when i start it up and hold of the floor and rev a bit really close to the car) thats when it gliches

i read on the net to wrap the receiver in foam will this really prevent glitching

can some1 tell me some good things that will prevent glitching please please
I'm scared to go too far with my car in a car park just incase its a runaway lol

thanks for your time nf123


my transmitter batteries are fresh

the receiver batteries are fine but not fresh:2cents:
 
Make sure you have not cut the antenna wire on your RX. If you have, you need to replace it and make sure it is the right length.

Put a piece of fuel tubing around the spring that holds the exhaust pipe on (if you have it).

Make sure the muffler and header are not touching. You may have a silicone coupling between the two.

Insure that your throttle and steering linkages aren't touching the engine.

Look over all the servo signal and power wiring. Make sure there are no nicks or cuts.

Make sure your antenna has no nicks in it.

Replace the batteries in your RX. There is a big difference between "fine" and "fresh".
 
First, get a fail safe. In the mean time, check for metal to metal rubbing anywhere and try to insulate it if you can. Check for a loose crystal in the receiver.

The foam is to help insulate the receiver from vibrations.
 
Do you have a failsafe?? For me a failsafe was nothing but glitching problems. I even tried 2 different ones and had the same thing so I dumped the whole idea. I live out in the sticks so its probably alot safer than if in a town or a city. Otherwise yeah, just look for exposed wire that might be rubbing on metal somewhere.
 
I had a problem with running my antenna wire too close to the aluminum chassis, one thing that cured mine is I ran the wire into the side of the antenna tube about 3/4 of an inch from the chassis...sounds odd but it worked.
