Servos .... booster or Rx pack ??

[lordnikon]

I'm having trouble with my core esc what appears to be shutting down and resetting with heavy servo and throttle use on 1s lipo. I've tried a capacitor in the rx which helped a little but not cured it.

So is the solution to add a booster in aswell to bring the voltage up or to run a seperate rx (life) battery pack ? I wanted to run the car on Sunday and am rapidly running out of time to order whatever is needed to sort it out.

Anyone add some options or give any other ideas, not sure what others are doing when running with a 1s on 1/12th

hi m8

on the rx i am running a cap and on the lipo side the esc comes std with one of those bank things... this it like that i find the servo and motor do very well and i do nto get any brown outs.

what servo do you have in your car??

Hi, the esc has a couple of caps attached to the + and - accordingly.

I've tried a savox, bluebird and a cheap hobbyking one, ironically the cheap one runs perfectly, but is quite slow !

I've ordered a couple of LIFe rx battery packs to plug straight into the rx and see if that sorts it. Fingers crossed.

My suggestion would be to get a better servo. A Futaba 12th servo (eg 9650) would be ideal and is a long term investment that won't cause any troubles and won't need an extra rx pack.

Its 100% the servo's i have. I put a 6.6v LIFe batt into the rx directly and it all works perfectly. Ironically the cars were slightly under weight so this has balanced them up nicely
