Mugen problem

[motoxer4life]

Had one little problem tho, Whenever i would get closer to the truggy and like touch it, it would glitch like crazy, but when i was driving and not touching it at all it would not glitch. Ity started doing this like after 3 tanks but then it just kinda lost signal when i got 5 feet away and just rolled without me in control. Anyone know whats wrong?

Is your antenna touching any carbon fiber parts?

[motoxer4life]

ill check but im pretty sure its not, just that spring thing tyhat hold the antenna
but that is metal right?

[Ponch]

Yeah

[motoxer4life]

would that affect anything?

[BAMF90]

Are your batteries charged?

[motoxer4life]

ya. there brand new 2600 team helotes rx pack for the mugen. Only two charges on them. But it was kinda odd how it started doing that after a few tanks, not the whoel time so maybe it was the batteries. im charging them now then im goin out to finish so ill c if tats the problem. Meathead also said try not using the switch since i guess that was ponchs problem yesterday so ill try that too.

[motoxer4life]

its still there with and without the switch. But i noticed that it is mainly with the engine running.

[motoxer4life]

any suggestions?

make sure ur antenna is situated as far away from motor as possible.

if ur runnin an AM reciever the antenna needs to be at least 12 inches long.

make sure there are no breaks in the plastic that covers antenna.

You never said what type of radio you are useing?

[kevinF]

hes using a spektrum dx2.0

[motoxer4life]

yup^^^

[myke]

Some of the early spektrum receivers had the antenna wire pull off the pcb inside. they are soldered and knotted but they didn't start gluing them until later. possibility?

myke

[motoxer4life]

nope. just got it brand new a few weeks ago.

Still...Open up the receiver and check it out....

[cr4sh_27]

did you get the reciever wet?

make sure you have fresh batteries in transmitter and if you dont have a hump pack, ditch the battery case for a hump pack.

if problem is still there....i would
1) test a different reciever in car to rule out faulty reciever
2) make sure transmitter is working properly


if you still cant find the problem...
go to your storage shed out back, grab a bat, and show that r/c that YOU DONT GIVE A F***

[motoxer4life]

ya im gonna check out the reciever. And no didint get it wet, it was even glitching before i even took it outside or filled it up w/ gas. and ill c ifr i can try kevins reciever and transmitter at lh whenever we go.

[chickenfarmer3]

make sure none of your servo wires got nicked by the spur gear/brakes.

[motoxer4life]

ya ill check that too but im pretty sure they didint because it was still glitching before i even ran it. And i made the steering servo wire go around the steering servo so its not even near the center diff.
