Default LST Glitching problem!!

I am sorry if this has been covered before, but I cannot find a solution to my problem at this time. On my LST I have only ran 5 tanks through so far, but I am having a irritating glitching problem. I am using a 5 cell hemp pack that i normally use for my MBX-5, and my radin batteries are fine. THe glitching only seems to happen with the motor running, so I tried moving the fuel filter and it still does it. It has to be from vibration, but I am unsure of where else to look, I do not see anything that stands out. Has any onle else had this problem? Or do you have any suggestions to solve it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. -c666187

Your hump pack could be low or you could have a loose screw on your chassis someplace. :\

Good luck hunting that down.

my buddy had the same problem.only glitched when the engine was running.he moved his fuel filter away from anything that it could vibrate across and he was also using the satanderd 4 cell pack.he changed that and hasnt had a problem since. i would check for anything metal to metal that may be loose.also check to see like mentioned above if one of your cells might be loose.
good luck.

Man, i've had some nasty glitching lately. After seeing it on my LST, i was determined to find it. I've changed out expensive servos, RX's, and batteries hunting these glitches. I found out my super brain charger was false peaking the majority of the time. I tested my buddies duratrax pirhana digital charger, and it charged my battery a loooong time. No more glitching. I bought the same charger last friday. I just wish i had pinned it down sooner.

I'm gonna still hold onto my 969, but if it keeps false peeking, i'm going to look into one of those...

I have a Dynamite Prophet Plus. It seems to work fine, but does anyone have experience with it false peaking?

I fixed the glitching. I wedged a (spare) piece of fuel tube between the filter and the head. In addition, I placed a little foam (from ESC packaging) under the battery pack. No more glitching. Woo-hoo, this sucker is awesome. I currently have 6 tanks through and am almost through with break-in. I hope to get finished and have it tuned this weekend. I have been working so much (60+ hours a week), haven't had much time to work on my cars. I can't wait to race this sucker... Thanks for the suggestions.


I think that I am going to look into getting one of those dynamite chargers.. -c666187
