inline Servo Capasitor

[STANG KILLA SS]

from Werx RC
ive never heard of such a thing

>Optimized for easy installation on servo or receiver
>Designed and tested by Werx RC USA
>No soldering required
>180C discharge rate
>Heavy duty 22AWG wire handles higher current loads
>Glitch Buster Receiver Capacitor
>Prevents the voltage of your receiver from dropping under a correct working level
>Stabilizing Capacitor works for any receiver or servo on the market
>Just plug and play directly into your servo leads or receiver and you are ready to go!
>Avoid spikes in the receiver battery voltage due to your servos needing large pulses of current.
>large capacity and ultra discharge rates
>1S - 6S Lipo battery compatible

cooll if it works. Drail

Same idea as the Novak Glitch buster.

Actually the way its hooked up in the pic it will work no different than the novak glitch buster.

Same idea as a huge cap hooked to your sub or audio equipment in your car.

Biggest difference with the way this one is wired is it can be used with a BEC and servo setup. Don't really see a need for it if your running a BEC though.

I have made my own in the past when using the crappy electronics in a maxstone and it seemed to help some with small brown outs.

good for impulse power needed by the servo.
Comp crawler owners should dig the difference...

Comp crawler guys on a diet plan with their rigs will not want the added weight nor the job of finding an ideal spot for it to keep their center of gravity low and forward.

For the money a CC BEC will do more with less footprint.

You have a point there.

+1, it's more of a "bandaid" than a fix. One issue with a cap is that it needs time to recharge if you're pulling voltage from it, thus doing a "steering wiggle" with a high torque servo can deplete the charge in the cap rendering it useless...... until it recharges.

I will stick to an external BEC, thanks.

And from all indications as the cap recharges it will be using extra power from the BEC in the ESC causing even further power draw issues and possibly damage to the BEC in the ESC.

I have popped many 100 amp fuses forgetting to do a proper charge on my 4 farad cap in my sub setup in the car. When a cap recharges it hauls allot of power all at once. This cap with a 180c discharge rate will also have a 180c recharge rate.

+1 on the band-aid and a poor one at that.

Excellent example.
On a racetrack you might need full power when landing off a jump or something and the cap will provide that instantaneous voltage you need to maintain control. Then the cap will have time to recharge before it's needed again.
Crawlers need the servo to be able to provide full power all the time. A BEC is a better choice for a crawler.

Agreed.

And in the same respect for audio. A power cap is a bandaid for a stock alternator that can't keep up. A cap in a passive crossover circuit however is a different scenario.

Power is power. But you have to understand volts and amps. If you need more power, bump the voltage. 2 amps of 8 volt power is alot more power than 3 amps of 6 volt power. People think high voltage will burn a servo up, its actually high amperage. With less volts, you use more amps which is less efficient. More amps equal more heat.
