That's what happened to me - it was fine, it started to give problems, some were solved but in the end it wouldn't go away. Planet Futaba fixed it for me...

This is one thing I tried that did help for a while. The problem seemed to be that dust and crap got into the receiver and caused almost a short circuit by bridging tracks and components on the biscuit board.
I took it out of the case, cleaned it carefully with a brush and no solvents and then taped the case up to hold it back together. For a while that worked fine, but after a couple more cleans the problem wouldn't go away.

Even added a new antenna to the module added tape to keep it tight etc. Powercaps etc... in the end I gave up got a sanwa gemmini x ... spot on  |

Not much help I know , but in my opinion , cut your losses and make the move .

I agree with both the above - move on! Cost it up, but a good used 3VCS and the Futaba 2.4 module could come in less than a new Sanwa or Futaba. You can then use the FRSky TFR4 receiver which is a steal at £23 each. I have three and they are excellent and very reliable.
Since moving to Futaba I have never had a problem, and I run indoors all the time using 12th cars which are very demanding on installation and RC reliability. HTH
