Thanks for the pic! My antenna was definately wired wrong then as it was faced the other way and wrapped around the top of the board. Hopefully this takes care of the issue.

As for powering the RX this way...From what I've been reading in the 1/12th forum most current ESCs are made to detect an input voltage through the servo harness and automatically turn on. So you only turn on the power from the reciever pack. If you turn both on you risk frying something. If you remove the power wire from the harness you have to turn on both the RX pack and the ESC. To ensure this I removed the switch from the ESC. The ESC and reciever seems to have ran just fine this way except for the glitching which I am fairly convinced is an issue with the module now. If this antenna re-route fixes the problem I'll be able to run everything normally.

It's an original series module. I have a couple of regular series recievers and a mini pro reciever. Currently I'm running the mini pro reciever in my 1/12th scale.
