Micro Spektrum Receiver
Has anyone had issues with glitching with the Spektrum micro receiver (the one with the short antenna)? I have had no issues in my touring car, but when mounted in my truggy there was obvious glitching. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been running it in my 8 buggy for a few months with no issues.

Well Kane-o you've seen my car,, I thought I saw a couple
of twitch's mth's ago at 1st fire-up but nothing since.
Wrapped up in 1/4'' foam and tape, still fit's Best in the S3
Even got it damp ,,abussed it un-sure about binding plug,
tried to run a wet shorting servo over and over, etc'
still not a glitch

I had problems with the Spectrum set only when my electronics fail me...try to isolate or try different battery and servos...works for me and a couple of my friends at the track.

Thanks gentleman. Unfortunately I have a big race this weekend and don't have much time to fool around with it so I chose to order another Spektrum Pro standard size Rx.
Neil, I find it is hit and miss. The throttle servo will get twitchy and then it will seem to resolve itself. I just don't trust my expensive motor to that receiver. I am thinking maybe it is becasue of the metal to metal contact on the brakes. Thanks for the help.

are any of you using a capacitor plugged into the receiver? on 8th scale the servos can draw quite a lot of power and have seen the spektrum recievers get starved for just a moment which will reset it and will cause something very much like your discussing.
i suggest you get the Spektrum Power Capacitor or make one from just about any ESC capacitor and plug it into the receiver. This will store enough power to cover the voltage drop momentarily.

I do indeed have a capacitor that I use in my 12th scale, and this does sound like the most likely problem. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to plug it in after the transponder, servos, and battery are plugged in.

I have used the dx3r since it came out without issues. With the 3520 recievers I would keep the antenna inside the radio box just making sure it did not cross itself and I never had any issues. It's a solid system. I ran it in an 8b, 8t, slash and b3 buggy. They all ran perfect. I always wrapped the reciever with foam and made sure it was well protected.

I have 2 DX3S's and 1 DX2 (and 1 DX6i but thats irrelevent) in my Spektrum fleet. I have no issues out of any of these radios. The ONLY problem I have is short range with an sr3500 rx.
