Questions?? Throttle Glitching ???

I have a Schumacher Menace that has been glitching the throttle on and off very quickly and eratically while WFO. I'm running an FM JR XS3 syn TX and now a RS310 RX, had an RS300 which I thought was the problem. Also running an MPI fail safe and 1500mah Nimh RX pack, the servos are JR Z270 on the throttle and Z590M steering. I am hoping it's the fail safe or the on/off switch. This is getting to be an old and fustrating problem. Does anyone have any experience with this? It seems to get worse as the car gets warmer.
Does this TX have a glitching or weak signal history? Thanks John in CT

i would try taking a much off stuff as you can like the fail safe or the on/off switch to test it. if it only dose it wend it get hot it probably that you servo might be getting to hot or most common thing with nitro is the motor is so close to the receiver box it get everything hot so try drilling hole to let the hot air out.

Going to test the on/off switch and FS.

Default Found Problem

I found it was my MPI MX9500 failsafe causing the throttle blipping glitching. So I ran the Menace for a while today with no failsafe and it ran like an animal. So now I need to know who makes the best of the new breed failsafes? I have seen a lot of good posts on the Ofna Micro 91002? Also is it safe to mount the new one inside the receiver box? I've alway mounted them on the top outside of my receiver boxes. I realize everyone in here is running NEW 2.4 Ghz or better TXs but I'm not going to dive $ into that just yet. Thanks
