Unhappy R7018sb

I got real excited and ordered a R7018SB. It seems like it will work well with my 18mz. After doing some research their is a video on u tube showing a power glitch like JR used to have. It shows them fixing it with capacitors. I was planning on putting it in a expensive jet. Now I do not know what to do. Has this problem been addressed? Thanks Dan Avilla

What "problem"? We've not seen anything like what you're asking about, unless it's something to do with using non-Futaba equipment.

There may be some compatibility difficulties with those non-Futaba servos. They may be pulling a LOT of current that causes the battery voltage to drop below a safe level, there may even be something wrong with the receiver. The video does not show anything useful. We have not heard of any specific difficulties as you're alluding to.

So,as your opinion,if we use more than 6 high torque servos,we still need to use the power distributor.Is it correct?
