Nice STICK

That green thing is a Ferrite Ring... You wind the lead from the esc to the receiver through and round it a number of times, as many as you can fit. It's purpose is to act as a filter to reduce induced RF noise in the line to help reduce/prevent glitches

Very clean build!

Only thing I would suggest is to lose the servo savers.
