Sounds like a coincidence to me. It sounds like a either a damaged reciever or radio.

Did you/can you try a different battery pack?

What radio are you running (brand & model)?

ok so i tried it with another battery and its doing the same. also it sometimes gliches when going in reverse, and it some times gliches just siting in place. so im kinda stumped here.

My guess is the added load of a climb adds to the EMF/RFI (basically, electrical "noise") that is swamping the RX signal.
If you are careful of antenna placement as well as ESC & BEC, you may limit it to an acceptable level.
The other choice is to go to a 2.4ghz radio.
