Re: Prefabbed Drive Train

Is your radio power wired to the special 12v protected power supply?
Voltage dips are more likely to affect the radio when it's wired to a regular WAGO connection (incorrect).

Take a look at your Driver Station log to see the voltage graph. How low is it going?

Certainly, stalling 4 CIMs by a quick reversal can draw the voltage quite low, but the radio is unlikely to brown out from it.
