It's up to you if you want an extra car or not.

Throttle would cut. Or my servo would stick turning and i would go in a circle. Sometimes it was just laggy. I had about 5-6 glitches in a 6 min race. It happened first and second race and then the third race of the night it was fine. Not sure what the deal is. I tried 2 different glitch buster caps one spektrum and a racers edge. I use the same setup on my other cars and they did not have a problem. While in the pits I left my buggy on with the hood off and noticed the green light on the futaba reciever would go RED and then my Tekin would restart itself, then the light goes green again. I suspect this is what it was doing while i was racing.
I dont mind adding a BEC if it is necessary. I'll try swapping in the savox servo first. I had been planning to do that anyway.

Did this setup work properly for you in the past?

Ibhave had te same prob with a savox and specktrum reciever and dx3c radio went to glich buster and stopped the prob. Now I'm with a futaba 4pl and haven't had that prob just a bad reciever and then sent it in and they replaced it. But it do sound like u are getting brownouts and if the glitxh buster isn't helping then try another servo and if that fix the prob sell the old on. But firdt make sure that the ends are plugged n all the way in the reciever first and no wires are frayed, if they are u can place a dab of solder on the frayed are and then heat shrink that section a lil. Check all wired and the antenna it could have got frayed upon installation. I hope this is helpful to u man and good luck with ur troubleshooting and prob solving
I've tried shorties and fullpacks and I liked the shorty alot better makes the car feel a lot more nimble and responsive and I could push it harder. The only downside I had was that it wasn't as good as handling the pot holes and bumps as a full pack.

Shaved U-Brace and C hub revisited!
Ok guys I've read most of the old posts on the shaved U-brace and "C" hub tower setup. For some it works and others it don't.
So wondering if anyone has tried using a shaved U-brace with a modified stock RTR hub?
What I did with my RTR B4.1 (cars my experimental for mods to my Worlds car, currently running a 6.5 motor) is I took the stock hub and drilled a hole for the ball stud about a 1/4 of an inch below the center hole, "C" hubs drop mounting holes 2mm. This puts the hole at the top corner of the rectangular indentation on the hub. Placed a washer and nut on the off side of the hub (indentation side) for support and stability for stud. One washer on the brace side.
Hooked it all up. At bones level the turnbuckles are almost level with the bones.
This B4.1 has been twitchy out of the box, no matter weight, tires, caster, camber ect! Always twitchy!
Done this mod and a totaly different car! Handles good and predictable, corners very well on power comming out of turns. And seems the mod is durable, has'nt worked loose or broke a hub yet!
Anyone with any thoughts on this or even tried this??

Why do ppl say the B4 is twitchy? The B3 was twitchy for sure. I always felt like the b4 was stable and predictable. To me anyways, maybe because I run stock though on a high bite track.
