Savox servo glitching

[deputybill705]

Morning everybody. I just got my Savage XSS built yesterday. I have savox servos for the throttle and steering. The servos are glitching. What can I do to correct this. I have a Losi SCTE with a savox servo and it does the same thing and it has a BEC. I would like to get this fixed before I head back overseas Sunday. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What do you mean by glitching? All savox servos make a buzzing sound

I've read a few forum threads a out this glitching from servos. They all say that a glitch buster capacitor will cure the issue. Heres a link to one i found on ebay.

I experienced brown outs with my savox servos. They are power hungry beasts! This is with my electric brushless vehicles- especially noticed it when turning and on throttle. So the typical solution has been to run an external BEC or pick up the above mentioned glitch buster..

However with your truck running just the servos (how many of them are savox?)... I would make sure that your power supply is up to par. Fully charged batteries! Probably should run nice receiver packs- I prefer the LiFe 6.6V. The 4 AA's might not be holding up their end of the bargain. With the capacitor only being like $6-8 that wouldn't be a bad idea in your situation as backup, especially if you are running more than one savox in the truck. They are plug and play- put into any receive port.

Thanks for the reply's. I will try the glitch buster and see what happens. Thanks for the help.
