Default Esc, servo, or RX issue?

I’ve been running Savox servo’s and Hobbywing justock esc’s with a Sanwa MX-V radio system. I upgraded to a Hobbywing XR 10 pro in one buggy and an Rcconcept SC10R in the other buggy. Now both buggies have constant glitching problems. I even had a few runaways in practice tonight.

I installed a glitch buster in each car and they helped but the issues were still there. Couldn’t race due to constant lose of steering or esc function.

Im trying to figure out if I need to upgrade to different radio or different servos or what?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Savox are known to be power hungry causing brown-out issues. Not sure about the 1251 models.

I rebound the receivers in both cars and installed new glitch busters. Recalibrated both esc’s and changed the setting down to 6.0v and these all fixed the problem. Now they are working like normal.

Thanks everyone for the help.
