It may be my reciever... I did what Techart27 suggested and it still glitches... I took my receiver away from the esc and the car and put the the car on a box so the wheels can roll. So i went outside and around 20 feet it, it starts to throttle and steer. 2 sec at a time or so.....

Ill go try my MX3 on it

Make sure the circuit board that sticks out of the speedo isn't touching the side of the chassis. Take your battery put and set it on top of the car somehow and drive the car and see if it still glitches, if doesn't then need to put some tape on the chassis so the battery bars can't touch the chassis. Can try twisting the wires to the motor then resolder them on. You definately need to clean up the wires to the receiver, you shouldn't tie the speedo and servo wires together. Make sure the little metal things on all ofthe Rx type plugs on Rx and speedo are pushed in fully. Can also try running servo wire over top of the battery. Wouldn't hurt to move the antenna mount somewhere less busy.

Have you tried different tx/rx crystals, as I suggested? It could be as simple as a bad crystal.

Its really fast if you maintain it good and have right gearing. Im running 25/87 on it. Pretty fast acceleration.

Also make sure you have good connections between your batteries in your radio, yep... if the little springs that your AA's sit on in your battery cradle are worn out that will cause you to glitch.
