| BEC wiring
I have a CC BEC wired to my CC Mamba Max. I followed the wiring provided by CC but it don't sense cause the way they instruct me to wire the truck will cause the truck to stay on at all times. What do you guys do?

Your servo will be powered on when the battery is plugged it. Most ppl always unplug the battery when they're not driving anyway, so that isn't a problem. When you mention that it's don't sense, what exactly do you mean? |

It will cause the Steer/Aux channels to stay on, but the Throt will still be controlled by the ESC switch. Many folks just unplug the battery to PO/PO. Actually, many jump-out/bypass the ESC power switch, in which unplugging is the only means to kill the whole truck. |

Did you mean to say,"it don't make sense". That would make "more sense". | |

I guess that means the rx is powered too - any issues with that? instructions always tell you to power the transmitter on first but if you're switching on/off a few times in a session, I don't want to keep taking the body off - ok to leave it on for a while between sessions as the throttle is still powered by the esc which I'd turn off. what would be the current draw while semi-off in this state? |
