I think this should be treated as a separate issue, possibly in a separate thread. Incorrect motor reductions should be unable to cause the root issue, provided the electrical system is fine. They can definitely aggravate the issue, but they won't be the root cause. Even if the problem appears to go away after changing the reduction, it will still be lingering in the background (and harder to debug when it returns).

As many other have already said, move the radio to the dedicated radio power supply. Also, add a few things to your standard pre-flight checklist - electrical connector security, chassis fault, motor chassis fault.
