Futaba 4PL, Glitching / Interference
#1
I have multiple vehicles (RC8T, B44, SC10.2, etc) and in all I use Futaba receivers compatible with the 4PL. I originally had some glitching issues when moving over to LIPOs and was informed that if the battery was getting low on charge that it could cause glitching also. I was also told that at high throttle / high current drain that it couuld cause voltage to drop to the receiver and cause glitching (to combat this, I installed glitch busters from Novak / Spektrum in all vehicles). It seems to help some but I again experience issues with my SC10.2 the other day.
In my case, what happens is that it seems like the receiver / servo / throttle are only updating or making a movement every second or so. Then, theres a short pause, then another movement about a second later. This sometimes happens at a longer distance and sometimes I could be in front of the vehicle.
Could this be interference on my street from other houses / phone systems / Wifi systems causing these issues? I should try and go out somewhere fairly open and check as I have not done that yet, but I wanted to see what everyone here though

To be specific, we need to know the servo/esc/motor in the cars and exact model of, "Futaba receivers compatible" with the 4PL. Futaba's systems are ones where interference is virtually unheard of from external sources and in the rare cases a 2.4 radio glitches, it's usually related to something on the car itself.
