could it be cause my esc is right over the motor? and i did move my reciever to the back of the chassis...i'll snap a pic after i get back from my job interview

btw....thanks for all your input...imma try the spectrum out if it doesn't work still then i'll go into other means of trying to get it right

2.4Ghz systems did the trick for me. Before i switched, i also moved the receiver/antenna as far away from the motor/esc as i could. This improved the glitches somewhat.

ok so for some reason my truck won't go all the way down the street...it's almost like failsafe is kicking in and the truck isn't responding at all...this is really working my nerves

pics...still need trays before real off roading but i need to figure out why it looses signal when i am down the street? it doesn't glitch anymore but it's like the failsafe or something causes it to shut off after a very limited space

Flip the batteries over so the leads come out twards the front of the car. Take on ohme meter and make sure none of the motor leads are grounding to the can. Get a plastic gear for the center diff. Ditch the reciever pack and pick up a Castle Creations UBEC. Eliminate any loops in the radio/servo wires (loops are bad!) fold the wires back and forth (stacked) and then secure with a small wire tie.

Get the layout exactly how you want it, then eliminate any and all extra wire length.

my next question on this...are about the brakes...the car has awesome motor brakes almost enough that if i slam on them on the street the rear lifts up...but i don't slam them hard i pump them much like abs...anyway my question is will pumping the brakes cause any problems as far as heat and such?
