Could be your ESC or motor or even some form of glitching. How bad is it? did you reverse the motors wires to see if it still happens only in forward? Start trouble shooting it to eliminate what is not wrong with the truck and you will find out the casue of the problem.

when you switch the wires, it will reverse the rotation of the motor. meaning that when you pull the trigger back on your remote instead of going forwards it will now do the opposite.

He stated that after he swtiched the wires (as you requested) the glitch is now happening in reverse.

Keep Creepin,

Is it smooth going forward now? Now skipping in reverse only? If so it sounds like a motor esc issue. What motor and esc are you using?
