Hey guys whats up
I have a question its dumb:stupid: but anyway my truck has been freaking out :marshall:everyonce in a while it sits there and the servos start flipping out I'm guessing its just the batteries are getting low but is there anything else that could cause this its my first Nitro and my electric trucks either go or not but never freaked out like this thanks Jesse

Interference can cause glitching, check another spot to see if it is just happening in one area. Also I have had this problem when I had the engine hitting something causing metal on metal vibration. This caused bad glitching. It could be the batteries so make sure this doesn't happen on a fresh charge. Also I have had glitching from getting the servos wet and they were on their way out.
 
I agree with HumboldtBlazer I had the same problem so i moved to a new spot and it was okay no glitching.
 
Another possibility is loose crystals. I had a problem with my reciever crystal coming out.

Do you happen to have a failsafe? I had a bad glitching problem a while ago. I tried many new parts for my radio but nothing worked. Turned out it was my failsafe that was messin it all up. I finally replaced it and havent had the problem since. If you do have a failsafe i suggest you try this. Hopefully it will help,

TO tell you the truth I have no Idea I'm not even sure what that is LOL I jsut got the truck about 3 weeks ago and still learning about it :)
 
A failsafe is a device you plug in between your throttle/brake servo and your reciever. It's job is to sense when you lose signal or to sense when the batteries are getting low. When either situation happens the failsafe kicks in and sets the servo to full brake so you do not have a runaway or out of control car stuck at full throttle. For it's price it will save you money on car and engine damage caused by runaways. They run around $30 on average. http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Detail.aspx?ProductID=DYN2551
