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

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..........

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