Your battery may be too low. That happened when I was using my Baja. The battery was so low, the failsafe just engaged.

x,tals are the little freqency chips that are in your transmitter and receiver, personally i think it sounds like its not charged up enough most chargers go green when fully charged stick it on for awhile longer and see,

i might have thought it was fully charged when it was orange caue when i first got it i charged it for like 12 hours and it was orange so you think it should change to a green light when it is fully charged(makes more sense)

well i would have guessed yes...

in the kit it should at least say what colours there should be on it, im using a pro peak V plus charger, red means its on fast charge, orange is slow charge, green means finished..

actually green is allways finish im thinking??.. humm.. do a search on good for your charger and read a write up, or tell us what it is and il do it for you...

Also make sure you are using a good quality FM radio. I used an AM radio on my old ride and it glitched all over the place, until I swapped it out for an FM. No problem since then.
