Sure a capacitor might help with the performance issues, but when the servo is turning around a corner that takes half a second or more to complete, the transponder will remain off the entire time, and a capacitor will have run out long before. I didn't mention the fact that 1/3 of my laps were skipped during the MM Pro's maiden race in 1/8 scale. (It seems to be fine in stock touring with a less powerful servo)

I am not going to run an external bec, or a loaner transponder, which sort of defeats the purpose of running the MM Pro over th Mamba Monster, which has been trouble free.

@brushlessboy,

The end points were set correctly with 5% extra wiggle room. The lights flickered just by turning the wheels in the air, there was no binding, and a slight touch of the hand to add constant resistance to the servo would turn the transponder led completely off.
