hi i have just put in a lrp esc into my car now when it gets about 50ft away it starts to glitch it never did it with my losi system and my spektrum radio gear is not that old so any suggestions would be great its really confusing me

its just so strange because i have exactly the same set up in my b44 but that has a lot lower turn motor and i dont have any problem so it must be the esc because it was fine with the losithanks for your help guys i will try a power cap

Novak also sells a cap to go on a spare channel on your Rx coined a 'glitch buster'.

You can just wire up a motor cap to a servo connector and call it a day. I'm going to try this tomorrow and see how it works.

BL system?
take the motor wires and give them a twist/braid, castle creations have been advising this for quite a long time so as to eliminate spikes from the motor wires.

this is what mine look like same size everything is the same apart from made and tested by me!the 1 in the pic is 16v as thats mine but the 1s ill sell are 10v same as spektrum 1s

your esc is drawing pawer away from the receiver hence the glitching can even cut out try a power cap.

it could be even simpler than a power cap, i was having interferance that started all of a sudden, only on the 4th meet after it started did i sus it, i try differant rx, tx, cystals, changed esc, servo and was till having the same problem, in the end i got it, all i dont was to move everything around in the car and reroute all wires and it was fine :-) must have been a magnetic field being produced that the rx was picking up on,
i know how stressfull it can be finding radio faults took me and many others at the club 4 weeks trying differant things till got there in the end.

also if u have a metal areal post swap for a plastic and try, as if have a metal post and is sitting on c/f the post could every so slightly nick the rx cable, and wish c/f being and electrical conductor this could also give u all sorts of radio problems, many seem to forget about c/f being a conductor..... hope u get it sorted soon thou bud

ps sorry for the bad english, beleve it or not i am english but i do think i need to go back to school and start again
