Glitching makes Stampede undriveable

No carbon fiber for it to touch. The chassis is the stock plastic and the aluminum on mine is the front and rear shock towers, front brace and a Swami wheelie Bar/brace; no way the wire would've been touching aluminum parts.

I moved the antenna forward to the hole the front brace screws in to and made a shield from 2 sheets of tin foil and 2 sheets of card board and put that in front of the ESC and fan. It's setup more as a reflector than a box to cover it up so the fan can still pull in air to keep the ESC cool. So far it's the most glitch free since I put the brushless in. If it works out after a few more runs, I'll come up with a hinge for it since I gotta flip it up to put the battery in.

So how did you wire the fan, then. Are you using a regulator?

Well it wasn't fully glitch free, I'd start getting glitching probably around 200 feet away or so. Put the fan on and it was almost a constant glitching and actually got worse the closer it was to me.

The fan is wired to the switched side of the battery. Never thought of using a regulator for it. I was thinking about maybe figuring a good size for a capaciter to put on it, like the brushed motors have.
