Talked to Novak,you can plug it into any open slot on reciever including the BEC slot.

can y'all show me a pic of this? I had such a HARD time at a regional race this past weekend...GLITCH FEST SUPREME, heck I even went full speed into the foot of a corner marshall and got black flagged twice for glitching :P... I run the quantum comp. and a futaba s9402 servo with a XXL receiver... from what I've read, I think this could have been my problem cuz i couldn't find a single thing wrong with anything else!

Are the capacitors wired in series or parallel?
para pro daw! 
alfred and i first saw the cap on the rx way back 2000 on Hara's World's winning MR4.

Robo, yup alam ko, tagal ko na rin tinanong sa inyo ito kaso yun nga sabi niyo porma lang 
. Well no harm in trying.
Sanj, Thanks, how much capacitance is enough?

it depends on how crap the bec of your speedo is and how much power your servo consumes.
as a rough guess i'd start high and work your way down. with my lrp quantum and modded homebrew servo i have to run 10,000uF but this is more than most people would need, so i would start at around 8000uF and work your way down.

Ok, thanks. That's a starting point.
I'm using a Keyence Zero V Extreme (BEC = 6v/3A) with an Airtronics 94758Z servo (speed/torque = 0.06s/115 oz-in at 6v)

Ortiz has 35V capacitors...I thought 10V was enough?

addict,
your bec is probably good enough, if not a4700uf should be enough i reckon.
i did try a keyence speedo out and the bec was rocksteady.
dirk,
10v is enough, there is no advantage with using a 35v cap as it will be bigger and the voltage of the bec is 6v anyway.

I have a capacitor for some time at the receiver of my RS4. Ever since I upgraded from an AM radio system to a Multiplex profi car FM system I had glitching problems. I tried changing the servo,receiver and even exchanged my transmitter at the hobbyshop. At some time I thought about spikes at the power to the receiver,so I tried a capacitor and then no more glitching.
