I'd try to borrow a larger battery (more than 1800mah) to check it out first, but this sounds like the system is browning out and the speed control locks on the last signal it received.
When it happens, after you retrieve it, if you pick it up and power cycle the system, does it act normal again, but runs away when you put it on the ground and give it throttle? Then for sure your losing signal. Do you recharge the battery to full capacity? You have a pretty low turn motor and a pretty small battery.
