Glitchy Radio
Ok, I have a Futaba MC 210CB esc on a stadium truck that I just bought, and any receiver that I hook up to it my motor gets all glitchy whevever the steering servo is going. I know that some receivers and esc's are not compatable, but I was just wondering which receivers are known to work with this esc. I am about to buy a futaba R122JE-2 ( http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXALL3&P=7 ), but I am hoping someone has this esc and can tell me first hand what receiver they are using. Thanks.
PS the receiver that i am using now is a hitec 75 mhz one. 75 mhz seems to be the only thing I can use because my HPI 27 mhz reciver didnt work. (Yes I changed the crystals)

RE: Glitchy Radio
Are the capacitors on the motor there and not broken? The caps keep the motor from creating interference when the ESC switches. The 75 mhz receiver would be affected slightly less but would still have troubles. It might also be that the ESC doesn't have enough current to drive the servo and it robs the power from the rest of the circuitry (could be a sign of a bad servo - can't think of an easy way to tell - or it could have something hung up in the steering).
