AM radios sometimes do this, with the engine off, and radio system on, 
touch something metal to various metal parts of the car, , if the servos 
twitches in response, it's some weird interference thing. Try 
disconnecting one of the servos and see if that helps, I've had screwy 
or wet servos make this worse, as well as a wet receiver. I've had 
fairly new radio systems do this, and didn't manage to find a cure, I 
believe quality plays a huge role.

As much as I hate telling a person to throw money at a problem, a 
Spektrum radio system will eliminate this completely. I've seen teh DX3 
system on ebay with 2 servos and 2 receivers (you can use any servos 
though) for around $200.00 ****pped.
