i have an rc8 and when the motor is off and just the servos are on its fine but one i turn the motor on it glitches i took it of the stater box still the same when i shut of the motor its fine again could it be the battery or the receiver or somthin else

sounds like some metal to metal contact somewhere...possibly in the cutch, one of the bearings, even the motor itself....what kind of radio are you running? are you still running with crystals or 2.4ghz?

crystals well i used it yesterday without glitching for about 5 min then it just satrted doin it someone told me it might be the battery one of the wires mightbe bad

I think you are getting interference. get a 2.4 radio

i dont think its that cause if it was it would do that all the time wouldn't it

check all of your electrical connections, and double check that all your screws are tight. any metal to metal contact is gonna make it freak out.

have you tried another set of crystals?

tomtom1987 07-30-2009 11:12 AM

na dont have other ones im gonna try another reciever pack cause the one it had there was a tear near the battery

its worth a try.

just replace everything you can one piece at a time to try and find the culprit

no it would not do it all the time, if you checked the battery connection and its still doing it - the only other thing is if on of the wires is stripped a bit and is touching the chassis - - - - - but your getting interfernece - - - go to a wide open area away from powerlines and houses and see if it still does it.
