Default Spektrm Dm 1 spec e PLEASE HELP

I have a Dm 1 spec e with the dx3 pro. I can't ge any distance out of my radio system. I Also have a savox 1258tg and glitch buster in my receiver. It seems like my car won't go more than 150 feet without going in to failsafe mode . Any ideas what's wrong?

Time to replace that receiver. Pick up a Spektrum SR3100 or even a new DSM1. Could your receiver wire have been cut or nicked somehow?

The 3100 uses a coax antenna, these don't like to be bent at hard angles, this could be your problem, in one of my TC's I cut into the side of the antenna tube to allow the antenna to be run as straight as possible, also watch out for carbon, it sheilds the antenna.

My apologies I thought you said you had a DSM one receiver. The SR3100 is a DSM 2 receiver.

I had my temp sensor and rpm sensor hooked up and I think all of these things were draining too much power
