I threw the receiver in my XXX-T , as that's where my QC2 was installed. Initially, the truck performed the same way it had before when I had the SR3000 in it; sputtered and studdered at low throttle. I tried the Voltage Protector, same deal. Next, I installed the LRP Worlds Upgrade Kit with the larger capacitor on the ESC, perfect. I next tried this same setup and removed the voltage protector, perfect. I tested this same setup with a Kokam 3200 2-cell Lipo. When I plugged the ESC into the low-voltage protector built into the pack and plugged the other other side into the receiver. Same thing as before, sputtering and cutting out. I went straight to the receiver with the ESC lead again, and it was awesome. OH, forgot to mention, this was all tested with an Orion V2 Element 19T motor. So I think the key really was installing the power cap on the ESC to prevent the voltage drop from going too low. I'm very happy with my testing results.
Could you post a pic of your set-up? I am experiencing a bit of voltage drop running the GTB/4.5 and the spektrum. I am running the cap that came with the ESC, so if I need something additional, I will have to cop it. The power loss and lag happens at the most in-opportune moments and usually ends up with my car smacking a wall.
