Default Spektrum 3.0 range problem?

So I race on a large 8th scale track, and I’ve been having radio difficulties lately. I have a Spektrum DX3.0/SR3100 in my RC8. When standing on the pit lane and making laps, when I get to the far corner of the track, my car has a mind of it’s own, it will throttle up, turn for no reason, etc. If the car flips over on the far part of the track, it will start having a mind of it’s own as well. I’ve noticed the problem isn’t as bad when I am on the drivers stand however. I thought perhaps the antennae may have started slipping down into the radio box and that was causing the problem. It didn’t appear to be too bad…so I don’t know what to do, if I need a new radio/rx because mine doesn’t have enough range, etc. Just to rule out some possible solutions..

1. My batteries in my radio are fresh
2. My rx battery has a full charge
3. It does this with other receivers
4. It does this with other vehicles I have.
5. It does not do this on smaller tracks
