Radio Interference - Help!!
 
I have brand new everything and had no problems with interference until this Wednesday. I had just dropped my buggy on the track for the quick warm up session before the races when I noticed a lot of problems. Sometimes my steering wouldn't works at all, other times it was only the throttle, and sometimes total failure. The guy next to me seemed to be having the same problem and we tried rebinding our receivers separately after we both withdrew from the race. We took our cars outside and seem to have no problems. Then when attempting to warm up before the next race we had the same problems. He withdrew and my car seemed to function ok. When my car wasn't responding correctly, I noticed it says no telemetry connection on my radio.

Prior to the races, I could've sworn we were on the drivers stand practicing for 10 minutes together with 7-8 other people without any problems. The only thing that I can think of that was different is that I (and maybe the other guy) had put in a transponder for the race. I didn't think it was possible for two 2.4GHz transmitters to interfere with one another, so what could it be? Is it possible the transponder in my car weakened the reception and made it susceptible? Is there anything I can do to eliminate or lessen the chances of this happening again?



Equipment:

Spektrum - DX2S transmitter (Brand new batteries, voltage was at 6.2V.)
Spektrum - SR3300T receiver
Savox -1258TG digital servo
LRP - SXX V2 Spec ESC
LRP X12 17.5 motor
Battery I was using when I had the problem was a fully charged Speedzone 5400mAh 50C LiPo

P.S. Prior to this event I've sometimes had the problem of having to turn off and on my buggy and radio multiple times to get the telemetry to work connect. Is that somehow related?

Savox servos are known to draw a lot of voltage. Try adding a stutter stopper to you receiver.

was there anyone on the stand running a flysky radio? I have had 2 accounts with glitching, and both times there was someone running a flysky in my heat. Maybe coincidence, but after turning everything on and off a few times got things working right again.

I hadn't heard of a flysky radio until after the event, so I'm not sure.
