Status: offline 		It's clearly an interfeenence. I hope you haven't cut the extra antenna wire or something. Could you describe the problem more clearly please? When this happens? When you turn on the radio? When engine starts? After a while? When car is far from you?

Status: offline 		It happens about 2-3 mins after i get it started... Then i will be driving, Everything is fine. Then the brakes will push and it will slide........ Or it will acct like it loses power and just roll with the wheels turned. It does this is small burst of about every 30 seconds or so. And im rfeally getting pissed about it. My cousin has his out and he wasnt getting interference on his. And it dosent matter if im 2 feet or 2 miles away from the car, It still does it.

Status: offline 		Does it happen at both servos? If yes then you definately have a receiver problem...I'd say get a new one it's reasonably cheap...

Status: offline 		Borrow a receiver from one of your friends and see if everything is ok. If yes get a new receiver and tune the engine from scratch and everything will be ok!

Status: offline 		You replace them with another set of crystals and if problem fixes you know what was causing the trouble! I mean borrow a pair of crystals in order to test.
