if you are using a M* I first would switch radio brands, other then that I would look at wiring etc, and metal to metal contact.. then if none of that pans out switch the spark plug cap for a NGK LBO5E

Arky

are u sorted ?

if not dose it do it with engine not running ?? or just when it's running ?

You have Radio interference somewhere? What type of plug do you have in the motor? You may have a bad plug? How old is the radio? You may have bad crystals? check these suggestions.

I've had a simular problem with my 1/10th scale, I found whenever my glowplug hit the cooling head the servos would twitch lol, Also it could be a sign your batterys are wearing down as thats what mine did when they got low.

What capacity are you batts? Will a 5 cell 1100mah pack work??

it could be your spark plug. If it does not have a resistor on it, it can cause interference

The electronic ignition system on the engine can cause radio glitching. Large scale veterans recommend using a PCM based system (Futaba 3PK) with Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) gas engines. I personally run a JRXR3i FM in my 1/5 with no problems.

cheack ur batterys ive got a hi tec agreser and that stars happening when the batterys are low after a quick charge it gets back to normal

or if thats not the case try buying different crstals with another frequency cus sertain freqencys suit different cars

you need either a surpressed plug or a surpressed plugcap but don't use both as these cancel each other out
thought it would come provided on the car though
