I can't see how it would have turned on in its bag and it had good charge at the end of the race meeting.

I've since charged it up and it's drained again.

It seems as though either the battery it faulty or the transmitter is draining the battery when it's turned off.

Any ideas?!
Take out the battery after a full charge and see if it keeps it charge after a week. If it does then your transmitter is somehow vampire draining your battery. If that's the case I would just take out the battery from the transmitter after every race if the transmitter is still fully functional and you dont want to buy a new transmitter.
