Yes you can run it OOB. No programmer necessary. Just make sure to set your end points. And Yes you will need your CC BEC

Nice choice. It is ready to run right out of the box. If you haven't, you should invest in a good clamping servo horn. The Axial 24t works great. I would install the BEC no matter which ESC you go with. You shouldn't need a programmer for it if you are using it to steer your crawler. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I run that servo (among other Hitecs) it will run fine out of the box. However, depending on how much "tinkering" you like to do there are being its to owning a servo programmer. I'm way OCD though. I use the servo programmer to set up my steering so that my TX has zero sub trim and/or trim and I set end point with the programmer as well. You can also change how much travel the servo has (up to 180°), the speed, refine it frequency (good for helis, not so much for cars and trucks), set a fail safe mode and test servos. |

The Axial receiver can only handle 6v maximum. In order to take full advantage of the servo you'll need to run 7.4v to it. Here's a wiring diagram to follow. You won't need a programmer no need to waste your money. Be sure to set the servo end points or be prepared to replace that expensive servo or other steering parts frequently. Also here's another top tip for you. I do like the Hitec servos, have used them for many years. You should look at the Solar D772 for less than $25 it's a great servo. I run one on a Summit and one on an E Maxx and really don't see the need to spend $80+ for a servo anymore. [IMG][/IMG] Last edited by Redbone; 04-02-2016 at 08:02 PM. |

You'll need a battery pack to power it and the servo, a USB cable and a Windows computer if you get the one I have. The good news is the software is a free download. If I'm not mistaken the more expensive one will do the programming without a laptop. But don't hold me to that. Both are on the Hitec website. | |
