I've started having some problems with my Tamiya Beetle...
I've lost a lot of range and when it gets more than 10-15 foot away it starts doing it's own thing, i don't even need to be touching the transmitter and it'll shoot forwards randomly and keep going to a while. if i watch the car the wheels and car twitch like it has interferance but i've recharged all batteries and it persists.

has anyone had a similar problem? is it a faulty reciever that's what i'm guessing?

CHeck to make sure your antenna isn't touching anything conductive on the car chassis.

I'm geusing its a Tamiya M04L you have.

1. Ill get the reciever away from the motor wires.

2. Make sure your intenna isn't cut or frayed.

3. Make sure the intenna is coming out the body using a intenna tube.


4. Try to put TWO pieces of double sided tape between the esc and reciever.

5. Or it could be diods or capaciters on the motor.

6. Make sure you recharge or put fresh batterys in the transmitter.


I've had bad glitching it turned out to be the reciever.

Goodluck
