receiver problem? (mini-t)

[Lessen]

alright gentlemen. I think I have a radio problem but I'm not sure. recently my mini-t has been acting up. The range seems to be very short (anywhere from 12-20ft. or so), and the whole thing will just cut out sometimes, steering and throttle. Usually when it cuts out I get no steering response whatsoever but when I gas it all the way it's like the esc is only giving a little throttle. one time when it cut out I walked over to get it and as soon as I got there the steering servo "zipped", like it was getting back into position (I did not bring the radio with me when I walked over to get it). Oh, btw, I'm using the Traxxas radio from my old Maxx, but I get the same crap when I use the Losi radio. This is my 1st and only electric r/c so I'm not really sure if I need a new receiver or what. I have a Futaba 3PK 75mh I'd love to use if I need a new receiver. All input would be appreciated. I hope I gave enough details for ya. Thanks in advance.

I was thinking maybe that too but that wouldn't account for the loss of steering response I thought. But either way if it were the ESC or the receiver I'd have to get both cuz the stock one is 2 in1.
