BTW, has anybody seen the HPI spring kit out yet or even the individual springs? I do know that you can use Xray or AE, but I wanted to stay with HPI.

Thanks, Mike

The New HPI Pro4 springs has been out for a few months now..check Tower or Speedtech,

one of my friend also have that problem also. in a particular spot of the track it lost control. just check your the mounting of your receiver. be sure it is not so close to the chasi. what i did is put a 2 double sided tape. 2nd try to check your esc. especially the wiring,cut wires this are some cause of glitching.

Do you mean cut the wires or don't cut them? I was thinking to cut them but I'm just not sure that it should be the way to fix or just change the channel. I just ordered new set of crystal channel 70. The one I have now is 88 made by "performance...something"

Here are some pic of the electronic installation.

There are other HPI springs that work just make sure they are the 25mm long ones...thats the same length of the Pro-4 springs. Some of the longer ones wont let you get your ride height low enough. There is a Spring chart here in the fourm someplace it might even be on HPI's Site....just look for ones that are 25mm long.

If I put antenna on the top...the antenna wire would touch the top chassis and it would be even worst?

The area in the circle is when gliching kick in. There is only one spot in the whole track. There is no street lamp around that area. I try different position on the stand and nothing help.

X-Garage: To "protect" the wire from hitting the top deck, use a piece of fuel tubing (from nitro cars). I'll post a pic of my setup later.

X-garage....Try moving or unplugging your transponder...Here lately I have seen the personals cause a lot of glitching when mounted on top of the servo....Not sure why. If you move it away from the upper deck it goes away on most cars.

Mine is mounted on top of mine too and I have no problems...But I have seen it bite about 10 people since the personals got popular about a year and a half ago...Very weird. But Ive seen people change everything on the car except the transponder and still have glitching...un plug it and it stops asap!!

Its worth a try!!
