Default Trouble with my Futaba 3PL 2.4ghz

I know there is a thread for 3PL but i am not getting any response there.

Has anyone had this issue:

Ok so i have my daughter a new Futaba 3PL FHSS system 2.4ghz.

At the track it started to glitch. I bought it to my bench and binded the system again a few times and it didnt help. Lots of other people were running at the same time. The speed control was feeding power to the receiver fine. I switched the system (Transmitter and receiver) out to my 3GR-FS and it worked fine

The green light on the receiver R2004GF kept blinking red randomly and this is when it would glitch. This would happen when the transmitter was right next to it.

I took it home and tested it last night and it works fine. What the heck? I am just getting back into RC and all the 2.4GHz is new to me. Any suggestions?

What are you using the radio with? IE nitro or electric vehicle? If electric, what ESC/motor/Servo combo ?

Its indoors Electric Sc10. Using a brushed stock motor and just the stock associated speed control Sc200 i think. The servo is a futaba high speed, but not digital.

Does it happen when you move your steering left/right really fast ? Or is it just random? Have you been able to recreate the problem in the pits or just on the track ?
