Default Glitching

Try moving your antenna mount farther away from the wires electronics. Sometimes only a 1/4-1/2" will solve the problem.
Just drill and countersink a new hole where ever you want it.

I had a Pro-2 that did the same thing. Went through 2 sets of everything and couldn't solve the problem. HPI tech. support suggested sending the complete car and radio system in but I wasn't about to go a whole month without racing because they had my only transmitter.
My solution was to dismantle the car for parts and give up up on electric racing for awhile.
After talking to MANY Pro-2 owners. I have found that HPI had a problem with the carbon grapite plates used in the chassis and the upper deck. Some would glitch severly and others wouldn't.

It seems to be the way the sheet was put in the machine for cutting and the direction that the weave ended up in the graphite.

Anyways, I now have a Pro-3 with the stock chassis and have had no problems with it at all.
