glitching with mmm - 04.26.2009, 07:37 PM

im having problems with glitching with my mmm v3,2200 kv combo.im running it on 4s 5000 40c packs in an emaxx.

it happens about 50-100 ft away from me. ive tried two radios and still have the same issue. iam wondering if i need to run a external battery for the receiver or maybe run a glitch buster ?

im running a single servo set up and a personal transponder also. maybe iam taxing the stock bec ?

any suggestions ?

thanks

Were the radios 2.4 Ghz? The Futaba 3PM fasst fixed the glitching for me. Have you changed the antenna length? This can be a problem also.

How close is your rx to your esc? If it is close, move it as far away as possible. Are all your wires braided? Try braiding your wires...even the motor, and see if that helps. As stated above, possibly move your antenna wire. I run a FM set up and after 150', it gets a bit dicey. 2.4 is the way to go w/no probs.


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

Only thing I see is that your antenna wire runs down through the servo hole, and then back up to the antenna. Try running it directly out the side to the antenna -- this should give you a lot better reception.

I don't know the frequency/modulation of the transponder. Could the proximity of the transponder be the culprit? It is a transmitter and the antenna is awfully close...

i moved the receiver to the front shock tower and braided the wires from the motor and added a ferrite ring and no glitches.
