Does this range issue affect both throttle and steering? If just throttle, try an ferrite ring around the throttle cable. If both are affected, try moving the antenna, braiding the motor wires, adding a capacitor (1,000uF+ / 10v) on an unused servo port, etc.

I assume you've tried a different location right? 2.4Ghz is more resistance to interference, but not impervious.

I had an issue with range/glitching once and it turned out to be a questionable antenna wire on the receiver. I soldered a new one on and it's been fine ever since.
