| Sidewinder / TQ3 interference/glitch from hell
I don't know what to do anymore. If i'm crawling alone, 5 feet away from the truck it's fine but put me in a room with a few other radios on or more then 10 feet away from my truck and it has a mind of it's own truck has a TQ3 radio/receiver sidewinder esc 55 turn integy motor 3 batteries on each side of steering servo I've tried multiple sets of crystals I've twisted every single wire that i could on the truck to see if it would help. I've tried swapping out the digital airtronics servo out for a hitec 645 (old servo that was in it before, but it's new) It was the same also when it had the old stock rtr radio/receiver in it on the stock chassis I've tried changing the wires for the esc and servo sides of the trucks I've also tried pulling the antenna out completely and having it drag behind the truck, that's the only thing that seemed to have helped abit, but i'm trying to avoid having an antenna sticking out of the truck, and the antenna is not touching any metal, there's plastic spacers between it and the body/posts. batteries in radio are new, and fully charged I've been readin around and people are suggesting to put ferrite chokes on the wires http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103222 or capacitors on the motor (sorry i'm a noob, does this reduce resistance?) and last but definetly not least, am i gonna have to break the bank and get a spektrum radio? please help me get this thing going before the first comp in 9 days here's the layout on bad cellphone pics |

You need to put capacitors on the motor.
