I have a hitec lynx with a glitching problem It has the spectrum system in it It has never been dropped or anything if it is just sitting not running it is fine but when the car is running it starts glitching now I got this expensive radio thinking I would never have any problems with it now thats a lot of money for a 14 year old to come up with. Please help me. thanks Chance Parker

Does it glitch with the stock Rx and Tx modules?

yes

And by spectrum I mean the synthized I am sorry for any confusion

Ok, what type of vehicle are you running?

A mugen seiki MTX-3

List of things to check;

1) look for anything metal on metal that could be rubbing or vibrating when the car is running.

2) Make sure that the Rx is either wrapped in foam, or has some other method of isolation from the vibration of the car.

3) If you are using a switch to turn the power on to your car, make sure that it is in excellent shape, if its not 100% change it out or go direct wiring.

4) Check all of your wires going to and from the Rx. Even a small fray can cause glitching if its in contact with the car somewhere.

5) Make sure that your Rx pack is good. A bad connection on the battery itself can vibrate out and glitch you.

6) Make sure you use the rubber grommets that were included with your servos to help isolate them from the car. A servo getting jostled around can also cause glitching.

7) Have you cut down the size of the Rx antenna?

Try those things out and then we will try some more things if the problem still exists.

Nothing has bean cut there is no metal to metal contact the battery is good so now what?? Thanks Chance Parker.

From my experience if everything is working fine when a gas vehicle is not running, there is something on the car that is creating the glitch. Have you tried a fresh glow plug? Once a plug gets older it will also vibrate and give you RF, especially on the small blocks.

Also try another set of Xtals for the Rx and see if the problem lies there.

Aright Ill try that tommorrow my motor is brand new with a new glow plug so haveing an old glow plug is not it but I will still try both of your sugestions and I will get back with you tommorrow.

still glitching so now what?

Man I shuold have gotten a M8 I also should have listened to everyone when they told me that hitecs have a reputation for having glitching problems Come on hitec Im only 14 and I dont have a job or money to buy a new radio so now what? wait I should add a few more of these

I mean what am I supposed to do with this radio I cant sell that I wouldnt do that to someone is ther anything hitec can do to solve this problem

SO you have done everything on the list from above? Then take the switch out and run the Batt direct to the Rx. Are you using a DCX RX or another one? What were the Freq's you tried in the car?

+1

If it works fine when the car is not running but glitches when it is started it is obviously something loose, rubbing, vibrating, etc. Have you tried another frequency?
