Savox servo
As previously mentioned you will need to fit a radial electrolytic capacitor ( power cap ) to a spare port on your receiver. Maplins sell a 16 volt 4700 microfarad radial that will fit 99% of cars. You will have to solder on an old servo lead or a new one to the legs of the capacitor, insulate, plug and go ! Just dont forget to stick it to your car with double sided tape.
Savox servo's are a bit power hungry and even with a 3 amp supply from the BEC on the speedo may cause jitters and stuttering. It's the Inrush current thats too high without a power cap and it also can cause the speedo to shut down, restart, shut down etc
If you are sceptical I run a savox 1351MG off 4 cell Ni-Mh in my ministox with only a 1 amp supply from BEC, without the power cap it just wont work.
If you want a power cap pre-done I can supply for £4.50 inc postage just let me know how long you want the lead to be.
