Default Steering cutting out, ideas please...

I have a weird issue with my MRC. I have a mamba 25 esc, a tower pro 160 220 oz. servo with a castle 10 A bec directly powering it from the battery(signal only to reciever), and a Trinity Monster Termination 17t motor, and my battery is a 10c/15cburst 800mh lipo. OK, now to the problem....when ever I am upside down and trying to flip over, when I am full throttling from forward to reverse I have no steering control. It also happens when the rig is pressing out of a bind I may also loose steering then too. I seems weird to me as the servo is powered from the bec from the battery. Any suggestions? Is it my battery?

I had a lot of "glitching" when using the throttle with the bec hooked up straight to the servo. Tried moving stuff around as much as I could to stop it but never went away. Finally hooked it up like the castles diagram shows and works great on 6v.

When using full throttle the servo would pull one way in forward and the other way in reverse.

My 1.9 has a 645MG servo, a Mamba25, and an E-Flite 800mAh LiPo.

When I had a CCBEC powering the steering servo and RX, everytime I gave it throttle the tires would turn left.
I never could figure it out so I removed the BEC and let the Mamba25 power the servo and RX. Everything has worked fine ever since.

I don't know what could be causing your issue either, except some strange mismatching of components like mine. :?
