I've been running LRP esc and Savox servos most of this year without problems. I did have some glitching when i mounted the PT on top of the servo moved it away from the servo it was all fine

nothing near the servo as its right at the font away from esc. the only thing close to each other is the rx aerial this runs over the esc but has cause no issues, the ko servo works perfect no glitching, but I need a better condition servo for my new rango

will sell the savox as get another servo, not sure which tho

like i said look at instalation you say your rx aeiral is over the top of the esc this canot be good as its a lump of alu attached direct to about 25 power fets all producing electrical static you will probably find the ko servo is anolge and the savox is a digital servo which will be more prone to electrical interferance post some pics of the layout. im struggling to see why you need to run the rx areial over the esc.

Why do you need the reciever on that side so the aerial has to go over the esc ? i'd take all the electrics out the car and try them see if it still happens

as in my other thread could it be the fact the savox is digital its the reason its causing this issue? the ko is analogue and no issues at all, really smooth.

Just ordered my DX3S from JE Spares and also a receiver cap so I hope I don't have any of these issues!

I run a Savox and A spektrum DX3S with a SR300 and a SR3300T Rx and a Novak GTB esc, nothing wrong with mine, not running a power cap either.

I think there is a problem with the speedo as in my previous posts I've had exactly the same problem as when you flick the steering left to right the blue light comes on the speedo and the car lurches forward.

It could be the Savox servo making the problem worse as tried both my 1258 servo's and still had the same problem but did try my old Sanwa and it did cure it for a bit but the problem did return so not an expert on electrics so don't know if there may be some interference with using the Savox.

So might be a good idea to send it to Nosram or who distributes them in the uk to find out if it's working okay and see if there may be a problem as eventually my Lrp burnt out.

hmm not happy as the seller was insistent that there was no issues with it when it was sold, the wire from the esc to rx is tatty looking and as the soldering was poor on the on off switch this could be the case in the esc

if the cap does nothing then i will open up the esc and look at the soldering maybe put some fresh cable on that I have.

other than that I wont be happy. but can only keep trying everything points to the rx losing voltage.

And i'm sorry to say i still am insistent, i never have sold anything that wasnt in perfect working condition and never will, sold quite a few escs on here with no trouble what so ever....... I ran the Nosram Pearl for must of been 50+ 5 miute TC runs, without any trouble. Equipment being a KO Universe 3 40mhz (302f reciever), Sanwa 801 servo, and either a 4.5 or 10.5 X12 motor in TC.

Have you tried another digital servo? It could be a number of things, thats interfereing......seeing as it works with another brand, but havent read that youve tried another digital...maybe borrow a friends, instead of having to shell out.

Firstly, the cap on the Spektrum receiver is only there to stop it shutting down due to voltage spikes.

You need to pull everything out of the car, spread it on a desk and try it, if it still glitches, then you need to look at wires etc, but until you resolve that it isn't an 'installation issue' your pissing in the dark.

Which radio are you using ? On a futaba 2.4 for example, you can use an analogue servo on ppm/pcm but a digital one will need the radio to be put into hrs mode, perhaps you have a setting for it but it's still on the analogue one ? (depends on your tx of course)

Sorry steve im not implying that you sold a dodgy speedo ive spent 10+ hours trying to resolve this and im pissed as ive tried alot bought a power cap as was advised to then other people saying take it all out and others saying stuff ive already tried as they havent bothered to read the whole thread, i just dont get how nobody has a defantive answer to this. All points to the savox drawing to much current causing this glitch.

have you tested the currrent draw of the servo and tested to see if the voltage drops when moving the servo left and right if not i would do this first then you will no for sure. if it was me i would measure both your ko servo and your savox and take note.
