It happens, I have a Spektrum that works fine in the Summit, but they glitch like crazy in the Baja so I have had to use a Futaba 3PM 2.4ghz in that.

My Dx3r has been rock solid for 2 seasons! My buddies even had a "small" glitch at a couple of tracks(m11x and 3pk) and I have "never" had a glitch anywhere.

radio glitches can be caused by many things. It isn't always the radios fault. Sometimes it can be something simple like the ESC switch or static electricity.

sometimes if the ignition is close to any ground point or metal it can create a glitch in any radio at certain rpms, it happens alot in bigger planes. so you can isolate the ignition and rx if you have a problem.
