oh and ive been using the xs3... but i use the same radio in another car w/ no problems...



usually i use the m8... but since i got surgery last week, ive been driving one-handed... its easy w/ the xs3, but the m8 is near impossible because the wheel is so far from the trigger that my thumb can barely reach...

have you try, open both RECEIVER and ESC casing,
some accumulation little small rock or sand may create short circuit that cause glitching

no spektrum...



as far as the receiver and esc, I have tried two different ESCs and two receivers... the second receiver seemed a little better...

I just went out to try it again with thicker servo tape on the receiver and didnt get 10ft before i broke... not due to glitching though... user error (try driving with one hand and see how well you do...)

we'll see tomorrow...

Had a had major glitching with my xr3.. I replecd the servo and it was better but not good..

I fixed it by buying a Hitec DCX dual conversion reciever(40 bucks) and crystals (10.00).. i used the radio for 7 years without a single glitch after that.. i finnally retired it because of its age , and as far as i know the guy who bought it is till using it glitch free..

you only need a new xstal for the reciever.. buy a single the same freq as your radio..I know alot of people dont lie hitec, but i love there radios..

i currently use a Lynx 3d with the dcx without issues..

Make sure all crystals are pushed fully in. That's about it for my suggestions besides making sure your radio batts are fully charged.
when you say the graphite chassis do you mean like graphite chassis that is just like the Factory Team Tc3?

Any other drivers get problem like yours ? or only you ?

Send photo of your buggy so we can examine better.

Your equipment look fine to me : LRP V7.1, XS3.

Have you reset LRP V7.1 to match your RX ( I mean press SET button ) ?

Would you like to try other channel ?

i will get a pic tomorrow... i think the problem might be going away, but i broke an arm today and haven't gotten to run since...

ill replace the arm and run it tomorrow...


On another note, when i broke the arm and drove the car with 3 wheels out in the street (just wanted to see if it would run on 3 wheels) it was glitching like CRAZY from the broken arm dragging in the front... what causes this?



yes the esc is set to the car. yes i have tried other channels (68 at first, then later 90)... I run my other losi buggy (bk2) on channel 68 with NO problems...

friction can cause glitching, check bearings, maybe one is very bad and the metal scrubs.
Or try putting a power cap on the receiver, works good.

Aha !!! Maybe is your servo !!! ( did you hit a lot ? ) if yes, then it must be the servo.

edit : on second thought, have you check all connectors ? are they fit tightly or loosely ? Cable split ?

I don't read magazines, just forums.
Sorry I tried to help, will never do it again, the thread starter said (any help appreciated).
So why not suggest the (maybe) impossible if nothing from the above worked for him?
The only thing he didn't change is his car, maybe that will help.
