Default PLease help, bad glitch.......

I have BAD glitch and I need help fixing it.

Here is what I have....
S Rooster with motor wires twisted per Novak instructions
Modded TQ3 and receiver
55t Lathes

Here's a quick pic of the set up.....





I have tried new crystals, changed receivers and moved the rx to the very back of the truck, tried a new speed controller, unplugged both servos and straightened the antena wire out.

All of that netted the same results, it goes into convulsions and is completely uncontrollable. I tried my DSM/M8 setup and it ran perfect.

I am assuming it is the radio since that is the only new item in the equasion above. Any takers?

you have already done the troubleshooting for us! If it works perfect with another radio then your esc and servos are probably golden. There might a bad peice on your reciever or transmitter. Have you tried switching out either? You have changed the crystals, which was my first guess. I say loan a reciever for a bit and see it it's still unusable.

I swapped out a rx and it still glitched. Can a radio just go bad like that?

try swapping out the transmitter whilst using your old reciever and you shall get your answer

I have an old radio that doesnt steer all the way. The throttle is fine, but the steering is like 10% of what it should be.
