Default glitching

wondering if there is anything i can do with glitching my wk, only does it when its 20 or more feet out, stock radio and esc, had a duratrax esc in it and does the same thing. mounted the reciever in a bunch of different places and made sure the antenna wasn't touching any power wires, still does it though.

What are you running for a battery? Try to get the receiver as far away from the speed control as possible.

running tenergy 8.4v and an 8.4v intellect and a reedy 7.2 stick pack, they all do the same thing. i didn't try to move the antenna, its right next to the esc (stock location) maybe try to move it to the front?

I have glitching too now, and i thought my motor makes the glitch...i have change with another motor(without cap on it too) with great result, no glitch..

Do you have tried with another motor? or caps on it?

Mine does the same thing. I am thinking its because I have my antenna wound through corrugated plastic (coriplast) and this reduces its range. It doesn't bother me at all as my crawler is never more than 20 feet away from me when I'm on the rocks.

Wait, I see your name is Kingbasher so I am assuming that you are bashing your WK - which is a different story .

X3. Seems like I see 2, 3, maybe more, glitch threads every day on here. All I can say to that is DX3R. I know most everyone looks at the price tag on it and just don't want to spend that kinda $ on radio gear, but it's well worth it in the long run when you know you can put anything anywhere and never worry about glitching. Heck I've never even found the range limit on mine. Plus once you buy one, you can just buy the receivers for any other r/c vehicles and use the same tx.

yeah, lookin for a losi 2.4 from a desert truck or whatever there on but nothing on ebay right now, might go for the 2 channel spektrum and be done. oh i extended the antenna on the truck about 3 inches or so, seems to help a bit. the stock length one that comes with the wheely king is kinda short
