help with gliching on racemaxx
 

hey guys,

i took my racemaxx out for a run a few days ago. this was my first time running it since i tore it down and rebuilt it with supermaxx stuff. the truck would get about 100 feet away and start gliching lick crazy. i mean late throttle reponce, twiching of steering, in and out of full thottle, ect. i cant really figure out why its doing this. this is also my first real run with the brushless system. i must have something to close to something, but i dont know what. heres a pic of my truck with the setup. im really stumped, you guys got any ideas? i just dont know:confused:

I'm no expert, nor do I play one on TV, but maybe it might help if you switched the location of the receiver with the receiver pack. That would put a little more distance between the receiver and the motor.

I had the same problem when i ran my truggy at the East Coast regionals last year - I'm running the same antenna mount you are - mounted diectly to the chassis and aluminum. I put a piece of fuel tubing over the wire from the receiver to where it goes in the antenna holder - and that solved it for me - the receiver wire was held too close to the chassis - Its worth a shot - let me know if it works for you as well....

Well, I´m not an expert either, rather a n00b.
But what radio are you running?
Is it me or is your receiver a traxxas?
If your still on the TQ3, which is AM (same as me) then 100 feet is a decent range, or so I was told.
Your symptoms match exactly what I get with the TQ3 on my 9918 at about 100 feet (30m, I think). I blame the short range of my radio.:W:

It looks like a JR receiver to me. I think HotnCold nailed it. It looks like the receiver antenna is resting on the aluminum. I usually sleave my antenna wires in fuel tubing between the receiver and the antenna mount to keep interference minimized.

thanks guys ill try that. ill let you know if it helps

Love those pics!!

problem solved!! i put some fuel tubing where you told me to and that fixed the problem. i finally got to run today. we still have 3 feet of snow, but my road is dry with a ton of dry sand from the plow trucks. its kinda fun to drive on it. thanks

Glad you are back in the game!
