Default Severe Glitching on Hyper 8.5pro

Ok before I explain whats going on heres what I have.

Hyper 8.5 pro pretty much stock

Ace DS1313 servo for throttle
Ace DS1015 servo for steering with a servo extension wire

Spektrum receiver

2600mah NIMH 5 cell battery

voltage meter

basic switch for charging and turning the receiver on and off.

Now heres what happens, when starting the buggy I noticed that when I hit the throttle or brake the servo for throttle goes crazy and starts glitching and when I let go it cant center, even the steering sometimes starts acting up, and sometimes it gets to the point where I lose all controle of the servos.

now today at the track I threw caution to the wind when the servos suddenly started working and not glitching at all and ran a tank through the engine without a single problem.

now when the servos start glitching my receiver's green light starts flashing almost like it is picking up interference or losing power.

I had my battery charged through a good charger and it still did it.

only thing I can think of is a bad battery but the battery on the voltage meter under load shows a full 6v...


any ideas?
