Default Glitching?

I have an AX10 with the 2s goat w/18.5 brushless, CC bec, Futaba 3pm 2.4 rx/tx, and 2s holmes lipo. When I am crawling it will jerk backwards at random quite frequently. The gear mesh is good, I cleaned out the rx, and bec with contact cleaner, and it still does it. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated, thanks.

check your servo and receiver wires too make sure they arent running parallel to motor wires or battery wires

Try putting a different servo that you know works. Had the same issue.

Welcome to brushless. I've tried the novak and tekin and I always go back to brushed. For crawling, I just don't think brushless works as well as in other applications. My $.02

How is the sensor wire routed? They are very suseptable to damage, the slightest crack or extreme bend can wreak havoc on the operation. pop the harness off and go down the length looking for twisted, bent or broken wires. Ive been runnin a goat for @ 7 months now and have had no problems. Also make sure its been setup to your radio properly and the settings are correct as per the instructions.

I will check it out, thanks. I have been running this setup for 6 or 7 months also, problems just started. It has been wet a couple times but I dried everything out and there are no signs of corrosion.

I've run the 2S Goat 18.5 all summer and had a similar thing happen. The antenna wire comming from the receiver I had rapped around a body mount to keep it out of the way.
I straitend it out and ran it down a short tube that I can fold down under the body. Never had any problems again after that.

How is your antenna wire ran?

It's in a tube zip tied to the chassis.

I finally figured out where the glitch was coming from. I unhooked the Castle bec and no more glitching. I guess it got wet one to many times.
