Default Servo loosing receiver

Just tried a new servo in my car and when testing, for some reason, when going around a corner sometimes (or constantly going round in circle) the car seems to shut off for a couple of seconds and you can see the receiver light go out then back on again after 2 seconds

Only thing have changed is try a second hand servo, any ideas

ahh right, I believe they can also have the same need for a capacitor in some cases, but one guy at our club has had quite a few problems with receivers with that brand.

What servo, what esc? Sounds like your servo is pulling the voltage down. Is it more powerful?
it could be your over driving it, if it's trying to go past the mechanical limit of the steering it will stall and pull excessive current, if it pulls more than your bec can handle then brownout and disconnect. check your travel and as mentioned fit a capacitor, I always had one on ectronix and spektrum.

It could also be the servo is either mech or electrically faulty.
