I'm using a 450 micro-farad capacitor on my receiver - just taped to it. Works great. The normal use of capacitors is to smooth out peaks or valleys in a voltage current and this was my problem - sounds like yours too.

Just connect it to a Z-connector, positive to pos and negative to neg and plug it in.
thanks! a fellow oval racer sonny brown works for horizon hobbies. he left a killer response to my questions on hobby talk. i begged him to come over here and put out some fires. if he doesn't come over in a few days i'll copy and paste his message.

he does say to use a stutter stopper or receiver pack in 4 cell racing (only if you are having issues) not all speedos in 4 cell are working well with spektrum and the fix (as of now) is to use a cap or pack. check out hobby talk under oval products for more info.i picked up a cap at radio shack today. i will test again friday. thanks bro
