Default glitching problems.

Ok, so I just got my rc8t running. I put a mamba monster esc in it with a castle 2200 motor and a hitec7955tg servo in it. Running on 4s it started glitching like crazy, so I put a spektrum capacitor in it. Still glitched so we put a castle external bec in it. I raced last night and the first two races I thought I noticed it glitching slightly, the main race it glitched bad. Any suggestions? Maybe a bad receiver? Bad servo? After I put in the external bec is there a setting I needed to adjust in the esc?

Did you pull the red wire from the ESC to the RX?

Your receiver has no damage to the antenna wire? And there are no wires even a little bit too close to the chassis of the vehicle or other wires?

When does it glitch ?

Have you turned down the travel on your servo at full lock so it does not bind ?

What voltage is your external bec set at ?

What reciever are you using ?

What batteries are you using ?

Cheers

Are you still using the Spektrum capacitor? The Novak glitch buster cap is physically larger and has a higher farad rating. You could try that, or buy another Spektrum cap and wire them together, doubling your rating. Or buy a much larger cap at Radio Shack and use the wires and plug from the small Spectrum cap to connect it to the reciever.
