Craziest thing, I went by hobbytown and tried another transmiter and receiver, same problem. Tried the newer DX3R and FINALLY, a working system! Aparantly the oiginal DSM systems would not work with either of my set ups. But the newer DSM2 found in the DX3R worked like a champ. It had everyone stumped. I don't understand how the original system would not work in two completely different cars. Frankly, don't care.. just happy to finally have a glitch free setup. Now for my driving....
