Here's a link to the Spektrum one...I make my own, and put one in every
vehicle. Had my brand new RC8 conversion go full bore down the street on
its own at 60+ mph and slam into my neighbor's mailbox post. Completely
destroyed the front end before I even got to run it, and had to replace
the post for the neighbor. Was NOT happy. Haven't had any issues since I
put one of these on all of my cars. It's a 10v 4700uF capacitor....you
can get them at Radio Shack.

I still feel my heart drop when I think about this. Cheap, fairly small way to guarantee you won't have brownouts/blackouts.
