I own a car that is powered by dual mods and i found that using diodes as well as quality capacitors will solve most of your problem!Also be sure to check your wires to your servo,speed control,etc.!Make sure they are laid out neat and out of contact with each other as this will cause radio problems as well!!Hope this helps and good luck with getting it worked out!! ;) :D

I just installed two Peak Panther 13x2 motors in my Wild Dagger.

There seems to be one capacitor installed already on each motor.

My truck seems to glitch a lot. When I go full throttle, about 10m away it will glitch and spin around or stop. Sometimes I can hear that the motors are cutting out (they don't sound like they're going constantly).

Anyone have any ideas as to the problem?

You're not supposed to put diodes on motors when you want reverse right?

How many capacitors are there supposed to be?

Actually I just thought of something. When I am installed capacitors on the motors, do I have to take into account that one motor will be reversed? (Wild dagger motors are used this way)

In other words, do I make a mirror image when putting the capacitors on?

it could also be your crystals

What could be wrong with the crystals?

you shouldn't need to worry about the capacitors... neg to can, pos to can, pos to neg... if you want to flip it, hehe, can to neg, can to pos... etc...
no diodes with reverse...
