I do not. I run nitro, with two servos.
I know I run the same runtime, because 1/8 buggy finals are always timed.
I had bought two Savox to replace my Futaba 9351's.
My charger indicates mah charged to my Life pack. I use the same Life pack, always. The only thing powered off my receiver pack is servos, transponder, receiver. Transponder and receiver will always consume the same, so they are irrelevant.
When running the Savox servos, I would need a charge of approx 850mah, when running Futaba I need only approx 300-350mah.
So you see, it is not guesswork but clear numbers.
I do not care really if you believe it or not, but the numbers don't lie, the Savox servos CLEARLY consume approx 2.5x the ammount of power.

It absolutely is not. But I'm sure you assumed I run electric.

I didn't assume anything, just simply responding to a post that has borderline useless information. You didn't say anything about them being run at the same track, just time. Maybe you car spent more time upside down with the Futaba, and therefore used less energy. We don't know because there is no supporting data, just a claim. No Savox model is listed either. Again, how is anyone supposed to believe anything with no data to back it up? It's entirely possible that A Futaba Servo with the same specs as a Savox can draw less current. However, without seeing real data, it's just hearesay.
"we don't know", that's rubbish, "ufoDziner refuses to accept it" would be more applicable.
You obviously don't care for real world testing, which I have indeed done, and "ten million" other people who have tried will also agree, they are definately more powerhungry, and I've supplied the numbers to prove it.
They consume 2.5x as much over the same time, on the same track, under the same conditions.
Which, obviously, is why people using them tend to suffer brownouts. Case closed.
But by all means, go stick your head in the sand and deny deny deny.

Hoping for some "fix-ya" advice.
I bought a used Ko Propo EX-10 Helios which came with a Spektrum SR3001 Pro receiver and SM1001 Pro transmitter module. It browns out at the worst times! On the straight away, out of turns, prior to a jump, during a jump when flight attitude needs adjustment.... pretty much all the effen time!
Sometimes, the problem does not show itself at all, for short periods of time.
I'm using a Savox 1267 servo, and I have a Castle BEC properly installed to prevent glitching. I'm also using Castle MMP with 3800kv motor. I use the Castle Link to program the esc.
Is this particular Spektrum equipment unreliable? Is there a fix for it? The antenna has been relocated (by the previous owner) from the side of the Tx module to the top of the controller.
I'll be willing to refit the controller with Ko Propo equipment, but that'll cost $200.
What other Rx/Tx modules are compatible that may not cost as much as Ko Propo?
Any comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
