Default Major Problem With TC4 or Mamba ESC

Ok so i need assistance, i'm going to try to explain with the best of my ability.

My TC4 has been glitching like crazy and occasionally would take off. its not my radio equipment because its fine in another car. i've replaced receivers and done everything to try to stop the glitching. so my question is it possible for my speed controller (mamba Max) causing the glitch? the glitching only happends at around 75-100ft.

its not my servo because i replaced it with a futaba s3305. i don't think its my transmitter because it works fine with great range on my baja 5b and my xray m18t.

anyone ever have the problem? and i wanna try to do everything to avoid having to send my radio gear to horizon hobby.

i've lost so much hair over this problem.

It doesn't matter if your radio gear is fine in another car. If it's fine in another car with the mamba max, then there's something wrong.

It's most likely your radio gear, what are you using?

Your placement of electronics could be causing the issues.. Get the ESC as far away as you can from the RX..
