On my dads car when driving it we can't get farther than 50ft away and he starts to loose signal. is it the batteries or the receveir or something else all together. Doesn't make much fun when i can go soo much farther than him

what kind of radio gear do you have? do the batteries die? or dose the car just go out of range?

Glitching with the Pro-2
spitfire;
Some Pro-2's can be very suceptable to glitching because of all the woven Graphite. If the Antenna has been cut, repair or replace it to the correct length.
I personally had a Pro-2, that I never could solve the Glitching problem. (Even with 5 pieces of servo tape!)

I had the same problem with my NEW Python in my TA-O4R that has a woven graphite upper deck. I found that the best thing that you can possibly do is get the antenna out of the car a much as possible. So hopefully there's just the reciever and the antenna goes straight up and out of the car. That helped me the most. Ultimately that glitching problem caused me to ditch the Python all together and buy the KO Propo EX-11.

First, ensure that the RX arial length are correct. This should solve the problem. Otherwise, feel free and post the result.

I finally dismantled my Pro-2 because of the Glitching, but I've also known people who have NEVER had glitching problems with their's.
You did mention that you have 2 identical Cars. Try swapping the complete electronics over from the "good" car and see if this solves the problem.
