I have the Multiplex Easy Star with the stock 400 motor included in the kit, the Airtronics VG6000 6 channel computer radio FM channel 51, airtonics dual conversion mini receiver and the airtronics 20 amp speed control. I am experiencing bad glitching problems Are there any tips anyone would like to share. I will try anything to help make this better.
Thanks,
Ryan Parks

I'm not a electronix expert. Can I ask you if your stock 400 still have those little capasitors in both wires. I have read that glitching was due to the motors current on full throttle. Look at this first anyone agree with me.

right on! You actually should use three caps: one from each terminal to the case and one between the two terminals. Next check your wire routing: keep the esc wires as far from the rx as possible. Also check your antenna routiing. Lots of manufactureres say put it inside the fuse, but 9 times out of 10 if there's an intractable glitching problem, running it outside the fuse will solve it.
Finally do a search on Wattflyer; there'll be a lot of info there.

Radio interference is something that even stymies the professionals more often than they care to admit, I'm sure.
Without some pretty fancy and expensive equipment, you can't hope to even begin diagnosing the root cause scientifically. The best you can do is change things one at a time until the interference goes away.
The 400 motor that comes with the Easy Star should have capcitors built in. Adding capacitors won't hurt, though.
If rearranging components doesn't help, try resoldering the connections. Replace one component at a time if it comes to that.
Just remember to use trial and error, making sure to only change one thing at a time before re-testing.
