Am I latest Xcelorin victim?
Hi guys, a bit of help needed. I have just finished installing my brand new Xcelorin 6.5 in my Losi XX4 WE and its not going well. When I switch on the power, the servo is hunting a bit around neutral. When you throttle up, the steering is glitching badly. I have tried two different KO receivers, diffferent crystals, different servos with the same results. The same radio bits work fine when hooked up to my Speed Passion speedo in a different car, so I rule out those as a problem. The only common part that causes problems is the Xcelorin combo. All connections seem fine. The only time it stops glitching under throttle is if the receiver is moved as far as possible from the speedo, outside of the car. This is not much good though! It is even doing it when set up out of the car. When the receiver is placed near the speedo glitching starts.
I have raced for many years, and flown model aircraft even longer so I feel I know how to lay out radio kit to avoid problems. It seems the speedo is generating noise which is upsetting the radio system, even when no throttle is used. Is this going back to Horizon then? Would probably rather have my money back if I can, as my confidence in the Losi setup was not that high seeing the problems others have had. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones!!
