If it only happens when other drivers get on the driverstand with you, then you might want to consider having your radio retuned. I don't know how old your radio is, but that might be something worth considering.

On those magnetic tubes (or ring) I believe JR Radio sells them, a buddy of mine had them and he fixed about 5 radio problems with those while we were at the ROAR nats this year.

Does your car glitch when under load (pulling out of a corner)?

Carbon Fiber can do that if the battery bars or one bare spot on a battery is touching the chasis. Happened to me a few times.

Also re route your speedo and servo wires all away from the chasis. Carbon fiber conducts electricity AND RF.

Assocaited manual says twist your motor wires to help glitching. This goes for all wires.

Let me know if this helps. It seems you have ruled out everything else.

Sounds like a weaK signal could be doing it also because you need a bunch of other signals to confuse it, so when practicing its no big deal.

I agree that the radio or module might need retuning. When you say you tried a new M8, did that include the modle? Or did you just stick your Novak module in the new radio?

Nope.I tried a Brand New M8 with a brand new Switch module.
This all started when I changed my speed control and put on a personal transponder.I switched back to the original speed control and still the same garbage.What about the personal transponder?I was thinking, it was realy bad when I would go past timing and scoring and any lane parallel to the timing loop.I would glitch only in certain spots but always at the same spot lap per lap. Could it be the signal from the personal?

Run the Yokomo Ferrite Magnet Tubes . I had a terrible glitching problem at the last Norrca nationals and I switched out my Novak switch and xxtra receiver for a new Airtronics 27 module and xxl receiver. Problem got almost perfect. Put the Yokomo Ferrite Tubes on and it fixed all my problems. They only cost 6 bucks for a pair of them. Better than breaking the whole front end of a car.

These are the ones that all the Japanese drivers use. From rainbowten. 3503435005034,YOKOMO,500YEN,YM-CF NOISE KILLER CRUMP FILTER,


JR also sells some similar to this that you can get quicker if you need them right away.

Bless you James!!!!

BTW- FYI- the JR ferrite tubes have a large center hole. The black on I have (looks similar to the Yokomo one) fits well over my 12ga battery wire, while the JR is much bigger. I can actually wrap my battery wire around and back through it albeit a tight fit. The JR magnet is also light gray instead of black. Maybe the color dictates the I.D.... not sure.

BTW, both the JR and the Yokomo are made by TDK- the VCR tape people.

There is also these ones from JR.

The ring style ones work grest for speedo and receiver wires. You can use the ring style on your personal transponder wires.
