Any suggestions?

Thanks,

The savox servos draw a lot of volts and are causing your receiver to lose power. If you have the castle link, go into the advanced settings and change the BEC power to 6.0v (its set at 5.5 stock). I have a spektrum radio and run the spektrum capacitor (like $6). It has basically solved my problems but every once and a while I get a glitch. I;m thinking about purchasing a Castle Creations BEC, I hear that it solves the problem completely
