Why does my Spectrum RX need a cap??
 
Why does my Spectrum RX need a cap?? SR3000

Hi there. Ive swapped out my Futaba 3003 with a GWS servo.
It seems some servos cause the rx to cut out (both GWS & Bluebird)
Plenty of power in the LRP esc's bec, its rated at 3A.
Ive added the cap to the RX to fix the problem, made one up.

Is this a design issue of the RX, or is the LRP's 3A bec circuit just not up to the
job??
Or perhaps the servo causing interfernce on the 6v line, then cap then smoothing out any interference/hash, which is all a small cap is good for...

Any ideas??

Couldnt explain to you all the electrical mumbo jumbo but I have had 2 castle systems with spektrum recievers need the caps(one was bought new 3 weeks ago),anytime u touched the steering wheel it would glitch(not enough power to the reciever when steering servo is working)...... its assinine that this day in age this would be required but its true, I have seen others need it also. Piss poor engineering imho.............
