Make sure that:

1. All your wires and in good working order with no nicks or cuts.

2. Your antenna is routed properly, away from noise generating sources and NOT touching the CF chassis.

3. Your motor isn't overly worn

4. There are no metal to metal contacts that rub on each other.

Good luck!

I would say #2 might be your biggest prob.

If you can, try swapping the crystals. I had a damaged crystal that acted funny.

Well if you can afford it go DSM, just joking man.........check your motor to see if there's three caps on there, if not add....do as fringo stated by twisting your motor wires and make sure your batt leads and motor leads are at least 2mm away from your antenna.

I know this sounds kind of stupid but it has happend to me many times. If the antenna wire has been damaged AT ALL then thats what is causing it. Also if the antenna wire has been replaced with a shorter or longer wire, or the stock antenna wire has been shortend at all than that will do it.

Yes... check the crystal... They're fragile. Also, make sure you don't have any dirt or debris in the Rx case. That can lead to glitching. Also check for voodoo curses, sunspots, celestial body alignment, and your chakra points. Good luck!

you might want to make the switch to FM....With AM it is easy to distorte the signal with the surroundings your in....which can cause glitching.

antenna wire

Try moving the antenna further (forward, in front of the rx) away from the motor and the motor wires. Turn the rx so the antenna wire is also facing forward away from the motor. Maybe move it all forward.

Does it glitch when you're on and off the throttle, or just when you're on the throttle?

It could be worn brushes or blown caps, try a different motor.

Why is the title "glitching on xray"?

is your battery pack homemade? poorly made battery packs can make a lot of electrical noise and cause glitching

also, i would take apart the receiver to make sure theres no sand or dirt inside, and to make sure the antenna wire is soldered on securely
