Hmm placement is getting difficult. One side is all battery and esc, the other is motor. I've redone the layout again:
Link. I flipped the BEC around so the output isnt so close to the motor wires... The other option is on that centre top plate but thats getting pretty close to the Rx and I was recommended to keep the BEC away from the Rx.
It's a shocking layout already, all battery and esc on one side, little motor and servo on the other. Horribly unbalanced. I can fix that later once I figure out the problem with this glitchiness.
With the new setup I think it glitched a lot less. It's dark now and I'm scared to drive it even in daylight after last time... But in a medium sized two story brick house, me in one corner upstairs, the car in the furthest corner downstairs, it was responding fine (a little delayed.. but still OK). There was one spot before where it would seem to glitch more often. Stab throttle and brake a few times and it was fine. It wasnt until I walked downstairs right up to the car still blipping it and it locked on again for about 2 seconds. Damn.
When it does it it always does it after a slight cog (cant understand how its even cogging with next to no load on the motor).
I haven't done a lot since then, I just reflashed with the latest firmware and changed the start power from high to low. I'm not really 100% on what start power does, but it only seems to glitch when you apply throttle from zero (not zero speed or rpm, zero throttle input), so I figured reducing the amount of power running through the system at that moment could help.
I'm pretty keen to get my hands on more of those panasonic FM series caps - only place in oz that sells them have a minumum order though, and want $12 for shipping for some strange reason, so I'll have to buy a lot of them to make it worth it.
Do you know where one could buy a suitable ferrite bead thing? I've noticed a lot of the air guys use them. I've tried searching many things in tower and amain but havent come up with anything, and looking in electronics stores I only just thought of lol.
