Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and have been in the hobby for several years now. I have a Clodzilla IV and Stampede. I'm having a problem with the Clod that I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with. I'm using a Super Rooster, Novak XXL receiver and a JR XR2 transmitter. Basically, whenever the truck is on, it seems like there is a decent amount of interference going on. The servos will twitch a little bit, and there's a constant low sort of buzzing. The motors will also occasionally twitch a bit. I know you're supposed to mount the receiver and the ESC as far away as possible, which I did to the extent that the 'zilla IV chassis allows (read: not much). Any suggestions as to exactly what causes this and how I can fix it?

its definitely glitching. I have a stock clod with a novak super rooster and an AM radio installed. Both the ESC and the receiver are installed very close to exch other but I dont experience any glitching. Im thinking about how you route the antenna wire. make sure it doesnt contact any metal or other wirings.

I would check all you wire connections make sure they are tight and not exposed. Also of your servo is too close the receiver that too can sometimes cause interfernce as well. I had that problem in my 18T (since it is such a tight space). What I did is added a little servo tape between the servo and the receiver and the helped a lot.

Thanks a lot for the help guys. The receiver and servo are too far away to make a difference, but could the servo wires being close to the receiver cause the glitching? It seems like it's mainly coming from the antenna wire not being mounted properly, which will be an easy fix; however, I currently have one of the servo wires wrapped around a brace right next to the receiver - would this contribute?

yeah. it might worth a try. take the servo wire off where the receiver wire is mounted. Are you using a metal geared servo?

sounds more like a bad crystal.if you have another set i would swap them out.
if not try your lhs and see if they have a set you can try b4 you buy.
