Servo problem

[Pooflinger1006]

Hey i was wondering if any one could help me with this problem

I'm kinda new to crawling and the problem im having is when i give my crawler full turning it cuts the power to the motor. I have a 13kg servo, sidewinder esc, futaba radio, and 3000 nimh battery.

you either have a electrical or a mechanical proplem, first try this disconect servo, from reciever turn rig on drive the wheels and turn servo by hand and see if it works, if it doesnt work you have something in your drive line, that is not right, or it could be electrical, week batteries, not enough volts going to servo, use a BEC, BATTERY ELEMINATING CIRCUIT,
CASTLE CREATIONS, NOVAK make them alot of us use them do to the higher amp /torque servos, most esc only put out 5 volts to the servo, so a BEC is used to put 6+ volts to servo

hope this helps

Alright thanks ill try a cc BEC , hope that fixes it didn't have this problem til i got this servo. Just stripped out my axle gears a day before im supposed to leave for a comp so the servo is on the back burner now anyway.

Does the radio have EPA's? If so, make sure there set correctly. If there not, the servo could be drawing too much power from the bec and causing the motor to stop.
