Status: offline 		Perhaps metal-to-metal rubbing causing interference. Check all your linkages, especially your brake rods and insulate if necessary. If this just came on suddenly, do you use a Metal Gear Servo? Sometimes when the gears gets worn and loose (especially from an accident) the servo can cause glitching.

Also, check the ON/OFF switch....they can sometimes develop resistance across them and your battery voltage drops.

If you tell us a bit more, perhaps it would be easier to diagnose.

What radio/receiver/servos are you using?

Status: online 		You need to replace both the crystals, the one in the transmitter AND the one in the receiver.

As nomobux said above, check you put the correct crystal in each.
