So i have some glitching issues...

Setup:
CRT .5
mamba max (old one)
3s battery
Savox sc 0251 servo
Spektrum dx2s w/ 3300t rx
Spektrum cap
3800kv 1410 4 pole motor

My temps are good 130s

But it seems like when the car gets far away from me it loses signal, almost like it's glitching, but sometimes it completely dies like it's lost bind. Some people said it might be the servo? Possibly my esc dying (it is old and has seen some abuse...) Ive tried a new rx and it did the same, new remote did the same too

ideas?

Do you have a cap on the wires from the esc that run to the battery? All my "newer" esc's do.

How far are you talking? Could just be your transmitter's limit.

battery is a turnigy 3s 5000mah 20/30c

Basically i just feel like it hsould be able to go further, but maybe it just the limit, how far is the distance for spektrum?

def. not hitting 620ft with the dx2s ... there must be something going on... I really want to try a new servo and flash / update the mamba max but i need to find a castle link

Yeah well with a cap in the rx and a cap on the esc I still have slight glitching issues using Savox servos.....
