This glitching problem is starting to get me burned out. I can't figure it out. I really think it is the ESC. I have tried EVERY option/remedy that has been discussed and even tons of my own ideas.
The last time I drove my Rustler I got about 30f-40ft of range, which was quite bad. When you have a car with a Feigao 540 12s, Mtroniks Genesis Truck, and 4s Lipo, you need a lot more than 60-80ft. total distance to get moving. It's possible that my glitching problem has to do with the motor, since the front bearing might have a problem and also because of how beaten up it is. Once I get the Mamba Max my range will hopefully be better, and I wouldn't be surprised if it will be.

Tomorrow I'm going to try a nitro truck of mine (that's right, MetalMan HAS had a nitro truck this whole time) with the same radio system from my Rustler and see how it does (I just hope it doesn't get stuck WOT!).
