Hello rc universe, and everyone on it lol. Been into the hobby for a long time, but have had problems lately, my stupid radio on my slash is messed up. was driving the past couple days and its very glitchy and it goes wideopen and darts and all that bull. Ive tried different crystals batteries in remote and truck and cannot firgure it out. does this sound like a broken reciever/transmitter or just a stupid problem? please help fast gotta race on monday and need this fixed before then.

Crack open your receiver and check to see if the antenna got yanked free of the board. Water and dirt in a receiver will also cause glitching. Traxxas receivers REALLY suck, so it might be time for you to get a new receiver or better system.

AM-radios should have been illegalized. Hazardious crap!
