Spektrum problem
I am running a spektrum system with an LRP Q2 speedo. My sponsor wants me running the full spektrum system, so I have been running their servo as well. I decided to try a high speed JR servo, but found that it will not work with the system. It glitches very badly only when turning the wheel fast?? 
I called Spektrum and they tell me that the Q2 does not put out enough voltage to allow a high speed servo? I never had that problem with my airtronics radio gear? Has anybody run into this problem? I was told by Spektrum that I would have to run a capacitor on the speedo to correct the problem. I have heard from a fellow racer that this did not work for him. Any input would be much appreciated.

Ok, here's another dumb question. I will be running the the new Spektrum Telemetry system as well. With steering, throttle and transponder already plugged into the receiver, how can I run the cap along with the Telemetry? Can I run a Y somewhere in the system, or will this somehow overload the receiver? Sorry for not being extremely electronically inclined.

Just plug the transponder into the channel 3 socket on the rx. All it needs is power so it can be plugged into any open plug on the rx.

Looks like 2bad answered your question bandit. Hes running all five things and its not overloading the reciver so I would get a Y plug just to keep everything neat instead of soldering.
