I bought myself a new Spektrum DX3R for Christmas. I have 3 cars, a team ae RC8Be, a Savage Flux, and a Slash VXL converted from a 1-year-old rustler. I put the SR3100 rx (the one it came with) in the RC8Be, and I wanted to put a SR3000 (The older DSM rx) in the other two. However, the lhs did not have any, and said the losi DSM rx was the same thing, and they had two of them, so I bought them instead.

I just got back from running my Slash for the first time this year, and it would lose signal every once and a while at radom places. It got pretty annoying, and since I plan to race this truck over the summer, I would like to figure out why this is happening. The transmitter said 5.4 volts, and the car had a freshly charged 2s lipo pack. and I'm not really happy about it. The frame rate is at 16.5 ms.

In order to get the antenna wire to the tube, I had to ream a small hole on the side of the rx box and run it up and into the tube. Since Iwould like to run this in snow, so I put sme hot glue over the hole to "seal" it.

So what do you think is wrong? Is it my setup? The losi rx?

Thanks for reading, please help!
