I'm running a Hobbico CS-170, same as older hitec 5955, similar to 7955. I'm wondering if I can try something to give me an idea if this is my problem. Can I use a 6.0v nitro receiver pack to see if that solves my glitching problem? I think I can wire it like an external bec, remove red wire from esc and then just plug the battery into the receiver. If that works then that should tell me if adding a bec would fix my problem right?

No I got it for my 10.5 motor. It screams with the turbo and even if you disable turbo the timing adjustments are more from the older version.

Powered the servo and RX with a 5/cell nimh pack and it seems to work fine. Like I said earlier Im new to electric. Will a bec do the same thing as the RX pack did with less weight?

Yes sounds like a bec will fix your problem, I cant believe that some of these have a weak bec. Mine worked great with a 7995 ?.

What receiver are you using?
A cap is just a battery so to speak. It keeps the receiver voltage from dropping below a certain point that causes the glitching/brownouts.
MMP and spektrum are the worst. I know guys running KO propo and MMP and have zero issues. Savox servos are also bad with spektrum. I understand this is a HW thing, but applies nonetheless.

I have this xerun 120A v2.1 with the latest stock software in my 2wd losi 22 1/10 buggy. I run it on 2s lipo with a speedpassion 10.5 turns ultra sportsman.
my buddy has a durango 4wd 1/10 buggy with a castle mamba max pro and a 6.5 turns motor.
on the straight away our topspeed is exactly the same, I can keep up with his 4wd buggy .
this is done on a hardpacked clay outdoor offroad track.
I just love this speedo.

I am having problems with program cards. When I plug it in, card turns on for split second and then off. Tried 2 different cards and both are doing this. So I thought it was lose wire, changed that out, put new plugs and still doing same thing. Everything works fine but cannot change settings on esc. Anyone have this issue. I have the 120a xerun. Do u think it's a bad bec that can cause this?
