Strange glitchiness with sidewinder and MM with ccbec

[BrianG]

Motor wires carry high current AC signals, which can produce a lot of noise. The throttle cable being in close proximity to those motor wires could be causing issues. Or, it could be noise coming from the CCBEC. During testing, the BEC had some noise, but a capacitor ("glitch buster") helped a lot. I would suggest somehow routing the throttle cable away from the motor wires and installing a 1000uF 10v capacitor onto an unused slot on the Rx.

You could also get one of those small ferrite "donuts" similar to the ones Quark ESCs use. You just wrap the throttle cable through it for one turn fairly close to the Rx.

Hi Brian,

It might be something else causing the glitchs. I have my ESC wires going where the motor wires come out and I don't see any glitching at all. I use an Rx pack and before that I used on external BEC that went in the garbage after it caused some serious glitching at high speed and a few broken parts on my Stampede. Here are some pictures:
