my car was screwing up cause i put grease on the gears and then the grease collected dirt and stuff and my car would stop and start and stop and start over and over when i finally figured out what was going on it took me forever to clean all the gears so yah don't do that

Have you tried replacing the transmitter battery (9V one)? It sounds alot like the transmitter range has dropped.

Try removing your crystal from the car body and then putting it back in, making sure it is snug. If this does not help you may have fried your receiver by touching the battery contacts the the heat sync. Good luck.

maybe you are getting interferance from something? try a different crystal set if you can. or if indoors, shut off tv's, lamps with dimmer switches, or any wall mount dimmer switches.

Yea I'd have to agree with Se7en. I think that you are getting some interference. That happened to my zip zaps.
