i found this...

"The main "issue" with 2.4 is that they're sensitive to voltage drops...rather than re-engineer the receiver to fix the situation, those
manufacturers are coming out with capacitors to put in the battery slot
on the receiver to get the receiver through any voltage drops there are.

Here's a link to the Spektrum one...I make my own, and put one in every
vehicle. Had my brand new RC8 conversion go full bore down the street on
its own at 60+ mph and slam into my neighbor's mailbox post. Completely
destroyed the front end before I even got to run it, and had to replace
the post for the neighbor. Was NOT happy. Haven't had any issues since I
put one of these on all of my cars. It's a 10v 4700uF capacitor....you
can get them at Radio Shack.
