Default Interference? Know problem or not?

Regular chaps - are there any known problems with interference at Southport?

Had a bit of a nightmare at the oOple weekend with glitch's - swopped receivers and rewired the car - no joy. Never had problems before - ever. Running Sanwa Super Exes.

Jim Dixon replied to my thread in 'Electronics' saying he had a similar problem - also I saw a few cars out of control and heard a few people were suffering at the weekend.

Don't really want to start messing if there's not a lot wrong really ?!

Hi Andy,
The only know problems at Southport where in the old days and some old metal caravans in the park nextdoor and 27/40mhz radios.
There is nothing underneath apart from old rusty pegs and plastic mesh when we had grass.
A guess( by reading your other thread on this) could be you speedo not providing enough power to the Rx and if you have not got a built in failsafe it could be on throttle/last known input, and not brakes or neutral.
I had a home made alu chassis a few year back and that caused me a problem on that day until i bent it

I know 2 locals had problems aswell over the weekend they both had problems just before they got onto the concrete they have never had problems before. They were using frsky conversions they put it down that, maybe something southport can look in to .

Chris's car had a burnt out fan which in turn damaged the receiver.
Paul has had his trouble since the conversion (even at other tracks).
The only other 2.4 problems I have seen is incompatibility with spectrum systems. Maybe we should go back to 40meg

Derek mclarney had problems aswell , paul hasnt had a glitch since hes changed to 2.4 , it just seems strange that they both had the problem on same part of track

Cheers for the info guys - I feel better that I wasn't alone!

I think I'll just leave it and hope it doesn't happen again - pretty sure it will be ok elsewhere.

I remember 'back in the day' at an old York outdoor venue - lots of people had runaway cars - think it was some proximity to some metal or similar under / near the track.

It's certainly interesting that a few suffered - my setup has never glitched or missed a beat until this meeting

James has also had some glitches recently - but it would seem only since the caravan club has upgraded their wi-fi....

Maybe it's something to keep an eye on though. If anyone else has issues they could let Eric know and we can compile some info.

Best to be safe then sorry.

Andy, a few people had glitches at the RHR round with Sanwa, at the top end after the straight.
