stuttering?
 

my x mod stutters. i put new batteries in the controller and the car? whats wrong?

i had the same problem all i could do was return it.i think it may be a motor problem seeing how mine did it in foward and reverse.

did anyone else have this problem?

stuttering
 

Got my Xmod two days ago(Skyline). Worked great until I ran into a table leg. After that, it would stutter and the steering would be erratic. I have some experience with 1/10 scale R/C and know that the receiver crystals are sensitive to shock. Also, if the two 'prongs' on the crystal don't fit snug into the receiver, that can cause erratic operation. I removed the receiver crystal and slightly bent the prongs(be careful not to break!)so that the fit was tight. Good as new! I no longer have any problems with stuttering, even on low batts. I also noticed the 9v. wasn't making good contact with the terminals. Fixed that with a piece of paper.

Hope this is of some help

Yup, same problem with a lot of people....if you smack a wall and you studder just take the crystal out and put it back in. Good as new....

ya but what about zipzaps my studers all the time since i drove it off my comp desk and broke my mustubishi eclips spoiler

There could be some kind of interference. My zip zaps sometimes get interference when I am playing with them.

ZZ stuttering
 

As far as the Zip Zaps go, it could be the same problem(crystal).
However, the crystal in the ZZ is directly attatched to the P/C board. A friend of mine had the same problem with stuttering and we traced it to the crystal, but couldn't fix it. You might check the antenna at the point it attaches to the board. Sometimes the wire will come un-soldered. For that matter, check all of the wires where they attatch to the board(motor, battery, etc...).
One last thing to check is that the battery(in the car) is making good contact. That's about all I can think of..........

I just made sure the crystal was all connected good and it cured the shutter thing

i have a range problem on my skyline too. i've checked the crystal and everything else but i can't figure out whats wrong :confused:

Ninja828 Some of the Skylines have had range problems from the factory. You should return it for a new one.

My sklyline will go 10 feet and die. what up with that!!!!???

i have a red supra and its good until about ten feet and then it starts studdering. i think im gona take it back. the crystal seems to be fine.

did you guys check to see if the wire going to the antena is still connected?

mine was disconnected, but I soldered back on.
