Just seems strange I'm only having these issues now when I've been running all this equipment for ages!
Have you got a link to the £6 capacitor please
Thanks
Spectrums capacitor

The capacitor ensures a smooth and constant power delivery to the radio gear from the main power source (BEC in ESC). Savox servos are reputed to have a high demand for current, which you could be seeing? The spektrum capacitor in combination with the spectrum receiver is meant to solve the issue. I've not seen it personally with my gear, but I have fitted one to my GT12 car just in case, as it's running 4cell/4.8v, with spektrum receiver, and savox servo. My buggy is fine with savox/spektrum and tekin RS pro.

You mentioned you were having trouble charging batteries?
Could you have been hitting the lipo cutoff, or was the power to the motor fine?

I'd still check out your servo wires carefully for breaks.

Are you still getting the problem now on the bench?
Could it have been some sporadic interference?
I've had interference problems and glitching standing next to people with cheap Code radios, which goes away if you move away from them, or switch your tranny off and back on again to re-pair your radio.
