Hey chum, sorry to hear about probs.
This is exactly why I gave up on the Core/Etronix trannys and converted to a KO system. The Core and Etronix look good value but come with some problems.

However, Im sure you can sort this out - this is what helped when I had the same problem you are describing.
I simply went through the BIND procedure again and all was well (for a while)

The problem is caused by how Core/Etronix use the 2.4 spectrum.
I cant work out why, but unlike other manufacturers, the other radios dont seem to see the Core/Etronix on a particular portion of the spectrum and then they bind/jump into it. Once this happens you are losing a portion of the 2.4Ghz signal.
Not normally a problem for our RC radio systems as they have many other portions to grab signal from at that point in time.
However (again, not sure why) but the Core/Etronix really suffers when this happens and starts to "glitch".

The new FHSS (blue) receivers are supposed to sort this out, but Ive read that it only partially helps as it still isnt using true FHSS.

Anyways, re-bind when this happens and you should be fine.
P.S. bind after otehr racers have switched on so you have more of a chance of grabbing someempty space on the 2.4ghz spectrum.
