MugenMTX3Kid;
The Zip Ties themselves should not be responsible for any glitching. HOWEVER, if you have Servo wires, zip-tied to Power wires. This is a No, no!
You want to keep all of your low current wires (Servo leads, etc) as far away from the HIGH current wires (ESC, Motor, Battery) as possible. This especially goes for the Antenna wire also.

Also, try twisting the pos and neg wires that lead to the motor. The current they carry can cause glitching, and twisting them around each other will help to negate each other out. There's a paragraph about this step in the new RCX mag.

Replace the capacitor(the big keg looking thing) and see if that helps. I know this helped out on one of my cyclones years ago when I encountered a glitch.
If that doesn't help, the best way to diagnois the problem is to use differant equipment, do you have a friend that has a radio system you can try? Same thing for every other component.
Like I've said before on here, I had a serious glitch one time and replaced everything on the car new(motor, esc, steering servo, etc.) and on my last attempt which was my radio system it turned out it was the radio system. I bought everything else for nothing but I'll never forget what I learned.
