It has a Novak XXL with "genuine" Airtronics crystals. The receiver antenna was shortened 1/4-1/2", so that could very possibly be the problem.

The antenna is mounted to the aluminum upper plate over the slipper clutch (about 2" from the motor). The antenna isn't touching the aluminum at all. I can also try making a raised mount that keeps the antenna closer to the receiver and further from the motor.

Also, the Mamba Max ESC is as far away from the receiver as possible (in the rear, the RX is at the front).

I suppose it would help for me to take a picture of the layout so you can see what exactly I'm talking about.
