I have a R/C car reciever (Kyosho Mini-z) which has become very poor
range recently. I have checked battery both on the transmitter and at
the car, crystal, and wiring, they all seems to be fine. The symptom
is if I have both the transmitter and the car switched on, the car will
twitch (the servo) badly, and the motor is start to running on its own
without me pressing anything.

What happens if the transmitter is switched off?

The car will totally stop twitching. So, I thougt it could be
transmitter that was bad, but I tried with 3 different transmitter and
still the same... Looks as if the receiver has problem treating the
incoming signal?

This makes no sense. AFAIK the transmitter should not transmit
anything until you move the joystick, otherwise its 9V (?) battery
would quickly go flat.
