You neeeed to get a bec. A castle creations 10 amp is cheap. I always have a spare as back up too. Ckrc hobbies has them and I think they are cheaper than anyone else. Pick one up and your problems should be solved.

Get the bec and double check your wiring to make sure nothing is shorting out when you flex!!!

The BEC is a must and it will allow you to get the most out of your servo. Check out holmes hobbies for a castle creations 10A BEC. JRH will even program it to which ever voltage you desire for a small additional fee.

Also check out Harley's complete guide for electrics wiring diagrams.

CreationFab - Plugs Other Receiver Bypass Adapter

grab one of these, it'll get the BEC to power only the servo. letting your ESC to power RX.
