Will this radio cure my glitching problem?
 

I'm having range and glitchng issues after adding a Ammo 36-56-2600 motor and Mamba ESC/UBEC so I've been looking for a radio. I found a used Losi DSM system for $35. Will it cure my problem ar am I just wasting my money?

A pic of your setup would be helpful.

Also are you using a ccbec or a generic bec?

Also do you have a steel spur and pinion?

Both can cause interference, make sure that your antenna wires, and signal wires are routed neatly and parallel to each other. Try to keep the batttery leads and the esc to motor wires away from the other wires. Steel gears can cause noise too. Tidy wiring seems to cure alot of glitching.

Are you using am or fm? If using am going to fm or dsm would be a good idea, and 35 bucks sounds like a steal to me!

Not in the pic is a Turbotronics UBEC I got off E-Bay. It's mounted where the double sided tape is and Rx lead is running right behind tranny then parallel to ESC lead into Rx box.

It's a stock 3905 with the single motor plate on it and power is a Ammo 36-56-2600 inrunner, MM esc, Turbotronics UBEC.
I 1st had it setup with the Mamba bec working and it worked great up to about 100ft and started to glitch. I twisted motor leads and that did nothing. Then I added the UBEC and had same result. I've swithed in two different crystal sets and tried a RC18 Rx that seemd a little better but not much. I should clarify this is all happening on a single 6-cell battery because I'm waiting on my Deans plugs to wire in the 14 cells.
I'm buying a used Losi DSM for $40 shipped and hope it cures it but i'll wait to see.

I think I remember a thread you started about the glitching. IIRC, you were using an AM radio? Well, AM is prone to issues because of how they work. Any DSM style radio should help a LOT. They run at much higher frequencies (typically 2.4GHz), which is much further away from whatever noise that your gears and/or BL motor generates. Plus, they are modulated much differently than AM.

I have a feeling the dsm will cure the problem. Usually moving the ubec around helps, I have found the ccbec to be the best ubec. It never matters where it goes, it does not bother my fm radio setup. Other becs have caused issues with me, and I have moved them around until the problem is solved.

I only use Spektrum DSM radios because there so great, no glitching here. Before i switched from synthesized to dsm I had a tmaxx run away twice and a jato that did it 3 times, no problems since i got a dsm.

I agree, any 2.4 ghz radio should cure your ills. I have switched everything over now and it has been the best thing I have ever done. No range issues, glitching, or interference.
