Default NEED HELP- Losi Micro

Hey, i just bought a slightly used micro t, at first i noticed it had a slight glitch problem, then i put fresh batteries in the controller and that fixed it. Then i realized that the differentials dont work because the were to tight. So i went back and reajusted everything. Then i bought the dt tires and a losi micro high power motor, not realizeing it was for the sct, so it didnt work very good because it was meant to run on more voltage. So then i put the stock one back in, but i cant get it to stay in place, no matter how tight i get it, ill set it down and 25 secs into it, you can hear the transmission getting louder, then it start glitching again. I will punch it, and it will putter up to speed. That is one problem, the next problem is that it the tires start spinning when ever they please, no matter what i have it tuned to on the controller. If you guys got any solution other that replacing all the electronics, that would be great!!!!

have you had a close look at the reciever/speed controler ? because i had a micro t that had this problem once and it was just a loose wire in the reciever when i soldered it back in place it worked just fine

Also, while you're poking around looking for loose wires inspect the antenna wire. I had a similar glitching problem on my Micro T and I ended up un-soldering the wire, snipping a fresh end then re-soldering it back onto the board. No glitching since then.

The antenna wire fits through the board first then it 'kinks' and is soldered on the bottom side. With my car, it really didn't look that bad, however, after I resoldered the wire all my glitching problems appeared to be solved.
