I'm running a 2.2 crawler with clod axles and 55X1 motors. Sometimes when I'm trying a slow crawl I'll get a spike in power that makes the crawler jump. In a competition it sometimes costs me points. Anyone know what causes this and what can I do about it if anything?

What ESC and servo(s) are you running? Do you have capacitors on your motors? What radio are you using? | |

1)Get rid of the crappy tamiya plugs 2)Make sure your radio has new batts and all that 3)Try running a reciever pack 4)Caps on the motors are imporant 5)Check the motor brushes 6)Make sure you have good connections all around 7)Run it in the dark and look for sparks, and fix accordingly |

Metal gear servos can be the source of some glitching, any metal to metal vibration can also cause problems.
