Question
QUESTION: Hey Matt C,
I have tuned up the th trim on my controller and the car is stationary, it accelerates sometimes.
It sometimes stops and starts twitching and then conks out?
Would this be the battery or another problem?
Thanks Michael
ANSWER: Hey,
It sounds like you are getting some interference from something else or the batteries in the transmitter are low. The broken antenna could cause that if it's very damaged, also. If your car is not receiving a good signal from your transmitter, it basically responds to any other stray signal in the air which can cause the twitching or unpredictable actions.

Would you know where the best place to get a new one is and how much for??
thanks man, michael
Answer
I don't know if you'll be able to find the exact one but you may want to research the different types. As far as I know, there are only two types. One has a female end that screws into the transmitter and the other has a male end that screws into the transmitter.
