I have MOD 1 steel Spur gear with metal pinion and the steel dog bone driveshafts as well.

To elaborate a bit, AM can be thrown off by pretty much any EMF of sufficient strength. So pretty much anything electronic (
) can make it glitch unless the offending device is properly shielded. FM isn't as succeptible to general EMF, but metal-to-metal friction can create high frequency EMF that interferes with the FM signal. I had that happen on my Rustler. I was using a Futaba 3PM-FM. It would be ok at low speed/close range or low speed/long range, but at high speed it would glitch if it was too far away...
So I'd be accelerating away and all of a sudden the car would just veer off the road into a bush; which meant that whatever interference it was recieving from the fast-moving drivetrain became stronger than the Tx signal at long range. When I got my Spektrum radio the problem disappeared.
