Default Glitch-busting help...

Ok..heres what's up...

I turn the car on, and the servo and esc start spazzing. Putting the car down (stupid me) does stop it from doing it some. I do however get less-than stellar range out of it, beyond maybe 60 feet (read, inside track area) it starts doing its own thing.

It has been determined that its is not the Rx or Tx, they work flawlessly in another car. The problem did seem to get a little worse with switching to brushless, but I'm always had some sort of glitching with the car. So, I'm trying to see what could cause it. I'm out of ideas.

are your transmitter batteries low ?
is there a loose connection somewhere ?
are any wires touching the chassis (carbon chassis) ?

go through and check everything on it's own and eliminate them one at a time, it'll show itself

I re-wired everything (twisted signal wires and made everything all pretty and stuff) and put the rx on its side, which cured most of it. It only spazzes when I aim the antenna at the omputer in the other room (im there too, car is on stands in my room)

The radio works fine in the Revo, so its not a hardware issue.
