Another option is to use an external BEC to power the rx and servo ( weak BEC circuit on the esc is the usual issue- fairly common with the MMPro ).
I have that installed on the ESC. But it is in a weird wire set up since i am not a good solder. I used castle 6.5mm bullet leads. i solder the two wires for the capacitor and ESC and then solder them into the bullet lead. Then i used a deans pig tail to add bullets on its end. Then connected them together and heat shrinked them so they dont come apart.

The servo i am using is a TowerPro 955

and where would i find a glitch-buster capacitor that plugs into the rx?
