I heard the savox servos have bad glitching issues with linear BEC's ( like castle mamba monster esc )
Just wondering if it would require an external BEC.. or if there is a similar servo specs of another brand I should look at.
I have a Savox 1258 in my SCTE and have run Copperhead allot (R.51) and have had no issues with my radio system (Futaba 603 Receiver).
Some ESC's / Radio combinations experience problems with glitch and brown out issues, due to the BEC not having enough amp capacity that require to run a glitch capacitor / external BEC. In my opinion this tends to get the blame pinned on the ESC, or the servo, but it usually seems to be all relating around a particular radio brand.
Fortunately we have had no reports of those issues with any of the Viper ESCs irregardless of the radio system or receiver used.
I myself have 4 cars with Viper ESCs, all have Savox 1257 or 1258 servos and no issues.
