Out of control - RC Word of the Week - GLITCH - HIT - Interference affecting the communication between the radio (transmitter) and receiver, or affecting the transfer of data from the receiver to the electronics. Glitches cause the model to react in ways that defy driver input, and may cause anything from erratic handling to absolute loss of control. Problems caused by onboard electronics are refered to as a glitch, while problems caused by radio interference are technically refered to as a hit. Glitching may be caused by many factors including; radio cross talk, frayed or damaged wires, improper RX antenna routing, outside influences (such as high power electrical lines or close proximity metal buildings or roofs), exceeded transmitter range, low battery voltage, or driver error (which may be claimed as glitching). AM radio systems are most prone to glitching from radio interference. A few tips to help prevent glitching - most brushed motors require properly installed capacitors to prevent EMF (ElectroMagnetic Feedback), iron ferrite rings may be used on servo leads to help prevent servo glitching, and it is always a good idea to route the RX antenna as far away from power wires (and carbon fiber components) as possible. cowrc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1489
