He means capacitors. There's usually 2-3 supplied with the speed control. They look like a little blob with thin wires sticking out. They help reduce interference caused by the motor. Check your speed controllers manual on how to install 'em.

Also, make sure your wiring is routed in a fairly neat manner, and that you don't have any wires that are frayed or rubbing on the metal chassis.

you also may want to check your antena wire, too. make sure it isn't going by anything that can make significant radio noise. and if that isok, check it's vertical location, i original was running myantenawrappedaround somecross members on my truck , but it glitched really bad, so i used about 3-4" of antena mast, and VIOLIA, glitch was gone...
