glitch buster installation
just bought a novak glitch buster. i have a futaba 4pl radio. is there a specific direction that it goes into the receiver? does it matter if it's channel 3 or 4?

look at the direction all of your other plugs are in and do the same for the glitch buster... it shouldnt matter if its 3 or 4

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.
