Futaba 2.4ghz system - Cap required?

[Chris Green]

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my 2.4ghz futaba system, and my matrix speed controller.

Basically, off the start line, sometimes I get a bit of a stutter, where the power cuts out. This is typically on the first time I apply full throttle. It doesn't happen every time, and it is not linked to one particular set of cells.

Also, sometimes if I put my car down on the track for the first time, if I apply full throttle, down a straight, and then apply full brakes, the brakes don't work at all, and the car accellerates at full speed, until it hits something. (Only minor breakages so far! ).

What I think is happening, is that the radio system is losing power, when the maximum current draw is being applied to the motor? Does that make sense?

The Nosram matrix I have, does not have a power cap on it.

Would it be advisable to fit a spektrum capacitor? would this help?

Thanks,

Chris.
