The stock radio isn't that great. I had a problem with mine around power lines. I switched to a Spektrum DX2 radio and get absolutly zero interference now and my range is better also.

Welcome to the forum.
True the stock radios with the RTR are not real good. Are your batteries charged well or if not running chargeable batteries are they good? Check all your connections. Mack sure the crystals are in the sockets well. All so check for metal on metal rubbing. All so what happens if you take it somewhere else as you could be having interference. If you can get a better radio I run the Spektrum DX3.
Good Luck

I concur. Check all these things. Also, do you have any carbon fiber parts? carbon fibers are in essence tiny nona scale wires that will run a current from induction caused by the flow of elcetricity throught you servo wires, battery wire, etc. Carbon fiber can also be a cause of this glitching.

I agree with everyone else: Go 2.4Ghz and you will not have to worry about interference.
