Hi all basically just put my m11x reciever into my b44.1 and got it all running but i am finding that i briefly lose signal when i operate the steering very quockly only for a second or two then it comes back but if i operate it slower its fine. I have noticed that my pt light flickers when the steering is operated but not when throttle is applied i have unplugged the pt but makes no difference. Anyo e shed any light on this for me as im stumped to be honest.

Sounds like a drop in power when your servo is drawing a lot of current hence the loss of signal and pt flashing (not enough current to keep them running), fitting a capacitor to the reciever smooths out the drop in current so no loss in power. It's also worth checking the end points on the servo make sure it's not trying to turn past the steerings max movement.
