Question Brown out?

Hey everyone,
I got my first 5500mah 3s lipo a week or 2 ago and have been loving it. However, When I go wot from a complete stop the truck glitches. It is like a gave it full throttle let off and then right back into it. This all happens with in a about a half a second from full throttle. Does this sound like a brown out? It only does it from a standing start not a roll or any other time.

Its not a huge concern cause I just turn my dual rate down 5% and its fine no big deal. just wondering if this is a brown out situation.

Truck specs:
wraith psc
20t axial motor
AE2 esc power wire removed from rx connector
castle bec set at 6.0v
spectrum s6030 servo
16t/87 pinion spur combo
fsgt3c tx/rx
nearly stock weight, no wheel weights..

I am just curious to what you guys think it is.

Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

bump your BEC up a half volt or power the radio with the AE2's bec. You could also install a capacitor on your radio RX. The voltage drop on your main pack is disturbing the BECs output for a fraction of a second.

Sorry I forgot that to add That I am running a Novak Glitchbuster power cap off the reciever. Though I do not notice a difference with or with out it. Also The servo only has ratings for 4.8/6v is this going to hurt it. I notice when I am crawling for extended periods of time it gets pretty warm will the higher volatage cause the servo to overheat?
