HELP ! MMP + Spektrum RX = cutting out ?

[SpEEdyBL]

I would just go with a medium size digital servo. I run a futaba s9551 low profile servo in my 1/8 buggy because of the problem. Despite only 122 in-oz of torque, it gets the job done. The JR9100s causes bad glitching and the spektrum s6040 makes a complete joke out of the bec all together. One twitch of the steering and the esc resets itself.

But seriously though, Castle needs to get their act together on this. This has been a problem from day one and I have not heard a word from them addressing it in the last 6 months. I've posted complaints here twice.

I've gotten replies such as:
"It only seems to be a problem with a particular servo." Not the case. Seems to be any high power digital servo that is causing the problem and it put me back $80 to find that out.

"You probably have a bad chip." Maybe two? in each of my escs that seem to be working normally otherwise?

"A power cap should solve the problem because it's the current spikes created by the servo when it changes direction." Been there, done that. No go.

Face it, it's time that Castle takes some heat on this. They could at least be proactive and let people know what is going on. When I people who are newer to the hobby running into this problem and have gone painstakenly out of their way to pinpoint it without luck, it really gets me.

THANK YOU ! You said EXACTLY what I was thinking ! There is obviously SOMETHING not right with these ESC's !

I was running the same setup with 2 other ESC's and neither of them had this problem running 2s ?

Why should we have too buy an external BEC to run 2s when its a supposed to be a 1/10 ESC and MOST 1/10's run on 2s ?

I love Castle's products but after this experience I dont think I could recommend the MMP to anybody who wants to run 2s on it

Well , its still cutting out just a tiny bit when you hit full throttle from a dead stop WITH the external BEC !

Tried going too an ACE 1015 servo also but that didnt help either

Man I was hoping not to have to buy another ESC but I dont like the way the MMP runs the Novak 550 motor

I was going too try a cap with the BEC next but I dont want too spend anymore money trying fixes too get this thing to run correctly

I've got a JR9100S in my XXX-T running a MMP, along with a Spektrum SR3100 receiver... don't have any glitching.
