With Futaba, black is always towards the outside. As Mr. Bass stated, using either Channel 3 or 4 will work.

i just got one of these as a door prize and noticed on the package it says "any open slot in the reciever". can you use the "bat" slot?
all my slots are used other then the "bat" slot.

What kind of radio system, ESC, and motor are you running? Was the glitch buster new or did you borrow it or get it used? It shouldn't have had any effect at all on the motor and ESC. The reciever gets it's power from the internal BEC on the speed control. On some radio systems when you use a high voltage servo the radio reciever isn't able to handle the amp draw from the esc to feed the demand from the servo and it causes a brown out or glitch. The glitch buster is just a capacitor that stores voltage and keeps the voltage from dropping too much when the demand momentarily spikes. I'm sure I haven't worded this exactly correctly but you get the idea and maybe an electronics guru will explain it with the proper vocabulary. At any rate If your motor is cogging it can be a bunch of things but usually not a properly installed glitch buster capacitor.
