I have tried every combo available with the stock electronics as the RTR came. Not 1 was consistent on either vehicle. I will try what was mentioned above and eliminate the RTR radio gear, and see if that fixes it. I really hope it does, because I really want an RC8.2E RTR, but am terrified to pull the trigger thinking I will get another car with these issues. If I do get the RC8.2E, I would be swapping in a Futaba receiver anyway, so if this solves my SC10B issues, I will be more confident in pulling the trigger on that purchase.

The worst part is that I feel bad selling these cars on Craigslist when I am ready to move on to another car because of these issues. But if I feel bad selling them used, how does Associated have the audacity to sell them new with this issue? I have been researching, and this seems to be a radio related epidemic. I have seen some posts with people not having the issue, but a ton of people that have on various forums. I will post back with my results. This will be the deciding factor on my RC8.2E purchase. I want to replace the radio either way, but I simply can't afford to replace an 1/8th scale ESC.
