|  Stock Electronics issues
I know there is supposed to be a delay when going from forward to reverse. I understand that, but sometimes, mid obsticle, it will just turn off...no throttle, no steering....But the lights are still on. Sometimes itll stay like this for a few seconds, sometimes I have to nudge it with my foot and it comes back to life. Anyone else have this issue? Again, its a totally stock RTR Honcho....

I'm having this same problem and was wondering what was causing it. I too thought maybe a Tx/Rx issue. At least now I know what it is. Guess I'll be replacing the electronics soon enough. I should have just bought the kit.

Is there a dumber explaination as to what a BEC is and how it works than what I found on google? I think Iafter i read up on it, I got more confused....ive been in rc too long not to understand this. I feel like an idiot. BTW, I love how long this thing runs on simple 1800Mah NiCads | |

BEC is Battery Elimination Circuit. basicly it eliminates the the need for a batttery for the reciever. now on your stock axial esc the BEC is very weak. 5 volts 1 amp. it is easily over powered by the servo and lights. by adding a Castle Creations BEC you eliminate the BEC built into your esc(you bypass it) and use a much higher power source to run your electonics. 6 volts 5 amps. or you can got he route i did and upgrade your esc to one with a better BEC built into it. the choice is yours CC BEC is cheaper but you'll end up upgrading your esc after you have had your rig for a while anyway. hope this helps | |

Can the Castle Creations BEC be run with the standard 6 cell 7.2 batteries? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I would just like clarification on this. Thanks |
