Arrow Futaba 4PL, Glitching / Interference

I have multiple vehicles (RC8T, B44, SC10.2, etc) and in all I use Futaba receivers compatible with the 4PL. I originally had some glitching issues when moving over to LIPOs and was informed that if the battery was getting low on charge that it could cause glitching also. I was also told that at high throttle / high current drain that it couuld cause voltage to drop to the receiver and cause glitching (to combat this, I installed glitch busters from Novak / Spektrum in all vehicles). It seems to help some but I again experience issues with my SC10.2 the other day.

In my case, what happens is that it seems like the receiver / servo / throttle are only updating or making a movement every second or so. Then, theres a short pause, then another movement about a second later. This sometimes happens at a longer distance and sometimes I could be in front of the vehicle.

Could this be interference on my street from other houses / phone systems / Wifi systems causing these issues? I should try and go out somewhere fairly open and check as I have not done that yet, but I wanted to see what everyone here though
