I have MOD 1 steel Spur gear with metal pinion and the steel dog bone driveshafts as well.
To elaborate a bit, AM can be thrown off by pretty much any EMF of sufficient strength. So pretty much anything electronic () can make it glitch unless the offending device is properly shielded. FM isn't as succeptible to general EMF, but metal-to-metal friction can create high frequency EMF that interferes with the FM signal. I had that happen on my Rustler. I was using a Futaba 3PM-FM. It would be ok at low speed/close range or low speed/long range, but at high speed it would glitch if it was too far away... So I'd be accelerating away and all of a sudden the car would just veer off the road into a bush; which meant that whatever interference it was recieving from the fast-moving drivetrain became stronger than the Tx signal at long range. When I got my Spektrum radio the problem disappeared.
