Do not Use Savox Servos with Spectrum
 

Yeah I tried it out and the Savox servo I got glitched like crazy with
my DX3s Transmitter. I used my Futaba 3PM FASST instead and the servo didn't glitch on it. Its weird because Savox servos are decent servos,
I just thought id let you guys know. I'm sure Savox servos work fine with other transmitters just not Spektrum Transmitters for some reason because of the glitching.

Old/known issue - you can use them together, you just usually need a glitch buster to do so.

I had this happened and thought it was my Savox servo, then switch radio's and my Savox servos been trouble free and glitch free ever since.

Do not forget there are some issues with weak BEC's in Castle Creations ESC's.

I run the savox low pro servos in my tc and they are perfect. orion and hobbywing speedos and speed passion b4 that and never an issue;) thay are awesome in my book:D maybe a week bec ...and I do NOT use the caps on the receivers;) never had a need using a dx3s and now a dx4s

It's true that it's not the radio that matters when using a Savox(or other brand high-amp-draw servo), it's the speed control's BEC. The more robust it is(ie. higher current output at a good voltage), the less likely you'll need a glitch buster....:cool:

Its only with Spektrums low end sport receivers. Both my 1/8 truggies are using Spektrum with Savox servos. As well as my wheeler and my TC, my crawler even has 2 Savox servos with a Spektrum receiver.

My T5M has a Spektrum SR210 and it can not handle a Savox servo, it glitches like crazy.

Yes the servos are amp hungry and yes the Spektrum rx's are a bit more prone to brown outs due to voltage fluctuations than others, but in almost every one of these I have seen (and it's been a few!) It's been able to be traced back to a Castle esc and a rubbish built in BEC (no surprise that they happen to sell the suggested external bec replacement!)

holy trinity of glitching
 

hi guys, I have run the brown out holy trinity consisting of the dx3s spectrum , savox 1251 low profile, and castle mmp together in a 1/10 tc, the bec is weak in this esc , but issue was fixed with a cheap external small bec and then later just a glitch buster (small capacitor ) , now I run a hobbywing xerun v 2.1 esc with same radio and servo with no bec or glitch buster without any issues

heard about it, read about it, bought the tshirt... but I still run savox servos with spektrum tx/rx in my 50cc gas plane, 1/10 buggy and e-buggy... along with spektrum rx/tx in every other rc that flys or drives that I own... never had a glitch <knocks on wood>
(not running castle esc's either)

I had this issue and found out that running rechargeable NIMH batteries caused a lot of problems as the voltage was not high enough. Switched to NIZN batteries and problems gone. I also add the glitch buster to be on the safe side.

I ran my dx4r and Savox servo for 2 years with never one single brown out. Maybe I'm lucky but I have a glitch buster in my bag just in case because of what so many people said about this known issue and never one time! Yay for me I guess but Savox make some great servos at awesome prices compared to Sanwa (which I run now with my M12s) and other brands where you can spend $250 on a servo and get an identical one for $99

I say make or buy a 5$ glitch buster and in a lot of cases that's all a lot not all of people needed to fix the brown outs.
