Default Help with electronics issue

I put the stock Losi Speed T brushless setup and radio in my SC10. Last time I put it away it was working fine, but when I took it to the track this weekend it started not running correctly. It would roll under power for about 30 feet, then stop and become unresponsive to throttle input, then moments later start working again for another 30 feet, repeat. This was true on flat ground, not necessarily only when jumping. Steering remained operational. The problem seems most noticable in forward, and when it happened, it seemed I could still use reverse OK. But I never did try to run the truck in reverse for more than a foot or two.

Things I checked include:

-- Rebind RX and TX
-- replace batteries in the radio
-- use another batter in the car
-- reprogramed the ESC several times using the software on my laptop
-- checked all wires and solder connections

Putting the stock SC10 motor and ESC back in was something I wasn't really happy to do. I wasn't able to get the Losi RX and TX to work at all with the SC10 ESC. So the issue may be in the receiver, maybe.

Any ideas?
