Edit: BTW, it only happens when the engine is running. It will not do it without the engine running. Does this mean something?
Yes, this is very important!
This often happens when metal is aloud to rub against metal, and I think this is the real cause for the problems rather than saturating the RX with a too strong signal.
My advise is to replace the throttle pushrod (or metalwire in this case) to a plastic one!
I thought that was only a problem with gas/spark plugs?
Gary, if you throttle cable is metal, your clevis is metal, and your throttle arm on the engine is metal, then even with a glow engin you can generate static. Is this the situation with your setup? If it is the problem could be a combination of swamping the receiver and generating static when the engine is running.

Yes, but the servo horn is plastic! Shouldn't that be an insulator between the engine and the servo though?
And yes, the throttle arm is metal and I'm using an EZ connector on the throttle arm, which is probably not helping huh?
Hummm. This is finally sinking into my old arse brain and making sense thanks to you guys. And now, I have no idea what to do besides pulling the tank, motor and trying to figure out a new way for throttle control.
