I have a race tomorrow and I figured I'll run my car outside to configure the trims and stuff.

The car glitches when it's about 25 ft away from me. Everything loses control, motor and servo.

I tried switching modules on my radio (Spectra to regular). Didn't work. Tried different radios. Didn't work either. So there must be something wrong with the receiver. I took it apart and there seems to be nothing wrong. Antenna is intact and no frays.

I also used a different car with a different receiver and still it glitches.

What gives?

Here's a pic of how my electronics layout is.

By the way, I've run this same layout for a while now.

its alittle bunched out. But thats because pro 4 really has no room. I think your best best is to take the reciever and stand it up and let the esc breath alittle. When it is next to that motor. It can get hot.

Move your personal transponder as far away from the servo as you can. I had that same problem and once I move the personal everything was fine. Hope this helps.

Just tried the receiver stand up, didn't help a lot.

well i dunno what the problem is. Did you try a different motor and batts?

I moved the PT to the front bumper and still glitches.

Hmm, well, this did happen after I switched to a new motor. I'll try the old motor then.

hope it helps. I hate when it happens.

seems like every glitch I've ever had could be traced back to the motor.

this may not be the problem, but isn't the stripe on the schotty suppose to be on the positive. that is unless you the black wire going to positive. also if you look at the top of the motor you will see where the little lock taps touch the circuit board and one of the two little wires that go to the motor screws also touches a tab on the board, solder those, that does help.

I have my motors backwards (to show the label, try it).

I just ran my car outside with the old motor. No glitches even when far away (around 100ft). This is intresting since my newer motor (Fukuyama Mako) is making the glitch? My older motor is slow so I don't know if I want to run it tomorrow.

I'm going to try the Mako one more time.

have u tried switching crystals?,if u run rechargable batts try putting some regular AA,and check the arm if the stack is starting to peel up they are only layered and epoxyed on there.(I think correct me if im wrong) I was glitching today in kissimme and noticed on the arm when i pulled it out it was peeling up and i switched arms and no glitch.
Hope this helps

I forgot my buddy was glitching today with a mako also he switched motors and it was fine his arm was peeling up like mine.
all i got to say for kissime is 4.9
