| Doin the jerky jerky
My crawler is having an issue. As soon as it gets about 15 ft from me its starts doing this jerking and pulsing gig. I have changed out the ESC,the rec and the transmitter. I'm clueless. I thought maybe it was the motor so I swapped that out too. IT STILL DOES IT!!! What could possibly cause this. As soon as it rolls out of that range it kinda jerks back and forth and the front wheels do the same thing. its almost like it shorts something out.

all three I tried are the stock futaba's that come with EVERYTHING. But I only have a problem with the one crawler. All my others work fine.

i had to run my atteanna outside the body with AM and still couldn"t cure all glitching. do you know someone with a decentradio you could try? pref 2.4 but fm would help. i think there's just to much metal on these for am. try putting a few layers of servo tape under the rx also

Get a 2.4 radio tx and rx set. All your plms should melt away... That what happened to me when I finally went 2.4. A tip, don't get cheapie servos or esc, sounds like it would save money, but instead it'll cost you the cheapies and the new ones (good ones) to replace the cheapies because you decided to pinch pennies.
