Default truck is jumpy when you push throttle

What is the problem if the truck jumps or glitches should i say when you apply throttle? The steering works fine so i dont think its the remote or reciever. Please let me know what you think. Thanks

You might have to program your esc whether its a brushed or brushless motor. Your esc maybe set to a brushless motor or vice versa. Witch ever motor you have you have to program esc to the kind of motor you have. Hope this helps.

A little more info about your setup would be helpful. ESC? Motor? Rx, Tx? Battery? BEC?
