RC10GT problem
 

My little brother has an RC10gt, and the problem is, We turn on the receiever, its fine, we turn on the remote, and the wheels and throttle starts jittering, we heard it might be batteries so we put new batteries in it, and it still does it...We ordered a new set of crystals for it, we heard that might be it. But anyways,
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!

was it the rtr version? if so you might as well scrap the radio equipment because the rtr radio is complete junk.

RE: RC10GT problem
 

Not sure, we bought it used. it has futaba radio and receiver.Not sure if they're the original or not.

RE: RC10GT problem
 

The new crystals should do the trick.If not,you might want to check if the same channel is being used by a nieghbor.

the same thing happens to me i have the rtr gt2 and once you standup and start driving its not a problem at all

RE: RC10GT problem
 

In the town we live in I doubt that is the problem...We are the only people in town with an RC truck so...Plus it just..happened, it was fine, we shut it off, then it was wacky...
We also tried maybe it was where we were at but we took it to the other side of town and stood up, sat down...its no good whatever we do:D .
Thanks much!

make sure its not a pinched wire, that happened to me once

RE: RC10GT problem
 

Check the routing of all the wires. Make sure that no wires are resting on the chassis, and that power wires don't cross, or lay on the antenna wire. Check to make sure all the plugs are in good shape, and plugged in solidly. And check all the wires for cracks/worn spots.

RE: RC10GT problem
 

There is a spot in the wire where the flywheel rubbed against it, theres no exposed wire though so I dont know if that could be the problem or not...and it just started doing it, I mean it was running fine, then we shut it off, and when we started it back up it was driving itself more or less..So...
Thanks much!

It could be enough of a weak spot in the insulation to cause interference. Wrap it in elec. tape or heat shrink and see if that helps.

RE: RC10GT problem
 

okie dokie, we'll try that:D
Thanks much!

The electrical tape didnt do anything, so we hoping the crystals will do the trick:D

RE: RC10GT problem
 

did u try insulating the receiver because if that touches the metal body or any other metal object then it makes jitters.

RE: RC10GT problem
 

well the receiver is inside of a rubber bubble inside of a plastic box so I dont see how that could be a problem..Ill check it out though to make sure its not touching metal anywhere:D
Thanks much!
