Default Possible Receiver/Transmitter Issues??

Hello.

We have two Tamiya Dark Impacts that we run here... Both had normal, brushed motors in them recently and ran fine... Upgraded to CC Sidewinder 4600kv setups, using the same batteries (7.2V 6C 3300mAh packs)... for now... Ever since the install, programmed the ESC's, the buggies are "jumpy" and seem like their signals aren't correct?? IF that makes any sense...

I am wondering if it is beucase we are using Futaba TP02 receivers w/ remotes... They are just el-cheapo remotes and receivers, AM frequency... Now that the ESC/Motor is pulling more power, I am thinking it is making the buggies tweak out a little bit...

Is this even a possibility?

Appears more likely that the batteries can not cope with the higher loads.
refer to
Electronic Speed Control - Why BEC and LVC cause most EP RX problems.
Much more information under sub section "Glitches & Jitter in RX & Servo - causes and cures " at
