I slept on it last night and came up with a few probable issues which may be causing my glitching. I was hoping to get a little feedback on which to check/replace first.

1. I have had Xtreme 180bb motors for about 1.5-2 months without replacing the brushes. I have conservativly flow about 24 hours total FT on these brushes. Could worn brushes be causing the glitch via contact between the armature and communicator? I have the original stock motors still in pretty good shape. I will try and put them back in and run a few packs to check this problem.

2. Rich (aka Richkid241) suggested that the servos may be causing voltage spikes thus shorting the electrical system. I have checked the servo wires and there is no worn through insulation or knicks to speak of. The servos also operate normally during flight. If I were to unplug the servos and tape the heli to my bench and run a pack through this would help to diagnose this issue although I don't neccessaraly get the glitch on every pack but do get reduced run times every pack.

3. A 3-1 going bad.

Opinions?
