Default help please

Greetings all,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. My problem is this, I am an experienced R/C modeler in the realm of helicopters and airplanes. I also have owned a number of R/C cars including an HPI RS4 that I got about 10 years ago. I recently made the return into the R/C car world with a Losi Aftershock.
My initial excitement wore off almost immediately when I found the car uncontrollable due to MASSIVE interference with the stock radio gear. I did the basic checks including checking the antenna for voids, replacing the crystal, and even moving to an area with no power lines to cause further interference. I have found the problem to occur only when the engine is running. I was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to fix this problem. I have looked at the Spektrum radio system and might go that route, but I'd rather not spend another $120 after spending almost $400 on the truck.
If anybody has any input on this matter, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike
