Would it be bad to use a longer rebound foam on the shock from Tamiya to get a more consistant rebound for all four shocks? I couldn't get that result with the stock rebound foam and the Tamiya one is about 2mm longer.

I need help!!!!!!!!!

I bought a futaba s9550 digital low profile servo, and got it all installed and tested it on my bench, if the radio is close (within like 4-5 or so feet) it will glitch and tweak.... but if its farther away it works fine

Im using a spektrum dx 2.0 radio, and epa is at 70 (for now)

Is this normal? do i need a cap to put on the rx or what should i do? I havent track tested it yet, so idk if it will glitch when im up on the drivers stand or not

but im wondering what you guys would try, I tried another few servos (cheapo ones) and they will glitch also.... So is my rx fried or?

EDIT: it doesnt glitch as bad with normal crappy servos, it really tweaks with the digital
