They're obviously not getting enough power, and I can't see different connectors really making a different when I have the cables screwed together with high voltage connectors at the minute.

It seems my only alternative is to go brushed, where hopefully it doesn't demand as much power. It's a shame because this motor and ESC are quick as shit off a stick, but I can't justify buying more new radio gear and upgrading to lipo batteries and a charger.
Brushed will be more likely to suffer from interference. The problem is more likely down to low-cost/faulty equipment than the type of equipment.

You say the radio that came with the car was faulty? Was it faulty with the kit motor and speed controller? If so, you should be talking to the shop you bought it from to get it sorted, rather than buying new gear yourself.

Acoms gear is not good unfortunately... probably a step back from the Kyosho branded gear.
