Intermittant control with radio

Sympton: When using the radio to move the robot around we experience intermittant motor activity; cuts off and on but not in a consistent pattern. Very erratic and causes the robot move in a very herky-jerky motion and is nearly useless.

These symptons do NOT appear under autonomous mode or when tethered; motor runs very strong.

So, I have two questions. First, anyone else ever experience this? Second, any ideas what may cause this?

Thanks!
