| Help with servos
Hello. I just added 1/4 scale servos to my txt and they seem to be drawing so much current that it causes the radio to reset. I have a lousy old tekkin speed controller. I am going to upgrade anyway but would the super rooster esc help fix this problem? The servos are the hitec hs-805bb btw. Thanks

It would probably run it better but you might still need a BEC. http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=13&page=1 |

you could try to power the servos directly from the batterys, BUT>>>>>> most servos dont do well with over a 6v current. so a BEC set at 6V to feed your servos, and the white wire on the rx for movement commands should help out. i too need to bec my one rig with my JR z9000T servo i think. |
