Default need help with my electronics

Ok so i just built my Ta05, And there seeems to be a problem with the electronics..
When the car is on a stand the electronics work fine. yet When I place the car on the floor, it sometimes just goes nuts.

Here are some things gone wrong.

At full throttle somtimes you have to hit the brakes for the car to stop or it just keeps on going even on neutral.
Reverse will not work unless the car is on the floor.
Ive seen sparks twice from the engine.
And the last time the car just span out crazy.

Ive reset the ESC many times, and will do once again after all this, but maybe im doing it wrong?

I am running a 540 motor that came with it
TEU 101BK esc
and Futuba radio and reciever

Did you go through the esc set up? i.e. hold the throttle while turning on the esc??

Yes I have.
I also just tried another radio and reciever. and it seems to work fine. so could it be the Futubas?

If it works ok with another radio then it does sound like it's the radio. New batteries in the radio?

From the symtoms above 1, and 4 can be the radio but I'm not sure why the reverse would only work on the floor. Sparks from the motor should have nothing to do with the radio either...
