Spektrum S6040

I put one of my new servos into my SB-V2 today. It's a Spektrum S6040, and it's fast!


It's pretty slick-looking. There's an aluminum band around the centre of the servo. I think it may be a heat-sink


The first time I tried using it, I had gotten some unfortunate results. If I quickly turned the servo from left to right 3 or 4 times, my Spektrum receiver would bug out, causing both my steering & throttle to severely glitch.

This problem was solved by plugging a capacitor (also by Spectrum) into the battery terminal of my receiver.



Here's a vid showing the speed:


I'll test it out tomorrow, at FastCats Depot race.
