What I'm implying is this...Don't wire the power to the RC after several feet of wire and two power distro panels that are feeding high current motors. The current flowing in the wiring harness is enough to drop the voltage supplied to the RC below 8 volts when the currents in the motors are high. Take off the power for the RC from the first distro as close to the battery as you can get and keep battery wires short.
