Default Strange glitch

Alright, if its confusing I'm sorry. So I'm driving my truck and it seems like my trim knob got adjusted because my car wants to creep forward and not reverse (esc futaba 330). So I mess with the the trim pot and get it adjusted to where it works. Then I move closer to the truck and it is off again. I point the antenna at the truck and it starts moving forward on its own, I take a step back and it stops and reverse works again. At this point I give up and turn the truck off, it has been happening for awhile now, I just figured out what it was doing now.

That is an odd glitch. Maybe your antenna has a small cut in the insulation or it is touching the metal frame? Or maybe the batteries in your transmitter are low and the receiver is getting the full signal? Or maybe the BEC isnt supplying the receiver with enough power? Or the electrical noise from the motor and battery wires are causing the glitching? Ummm, you could also have a bad crystal. Maybe you got too excited playing in the water and your electronics didnt like it? Dirty contact somewhere?

It could be a number of things, hope this was of some help.

My antenna was touching the frame, but it doesn't seem like that would only affect the throttle and in such a specific way. I hope it ain't a bad crystal, I don't like the airlines.
