And give us some details of what's on the truck.

If you grab the wire that goes from the reciever to the Esc, does the glitching stop?

grab it where at the plug? or just in some random spot. I'll try it when I get home.

If you can afford it, I would suggest going to a Spread Spectrum radio system. I used to have several various glitching issues, but since I switched over to a SS radio, I have not had many issues with glitching.
Also, watch how you route your wiring, when you cross power over or near signal, you can sometimes cause interference issues. People are probably sick of reading this, but a ferrite choke can usually end the EMF interference. I know this because it worked on several occasions for myself. Also check the motor caps, maybe there is a failing solder joint or something like that.

thats your problem! if you are not using 2.4 gig transmitter and receiver - you MUST have caps! you need 3 of em.. one going from one motor lead to the other and one on each motor lead going to the motors can. fixed.

Does the motor have a small circuit board on the brush end? If so, they are surface mount caps. If not they are soldered to the motor tabs and can...

i soldered some on to the screw that you have to losen to get the can off. will this work as a ground or do i just need to do it to the can, because it has not stopped glitching yet, nest i will try and find a ferrite choke i guess.

If the screw you speak of is coming in contact w/the can, that would be fine. If not, stick 'em to the can.

the other thing to get is a bec, sometimes the servo will take all the power for that second and stall the motor. once i went with a bec powering the steering servo i never had a problem again

Jombo brought up a VERY good point w/the BEC to keep servos from robbing power. Props J.
