Unplug your dig servo and drive it around for awhile and see if it still cuts out after a while. Sounds like you might be needing to run a BEC on your dig servo also.

Then your BEC is working fine. Check the LEDs on the ESC and reference the owner's manual. It may be a cheap or not fully charged Lipo is being over taxed and making the ESC use the Lipo cutoff. |

Manual programming or Hotwire? Did you buy the ESC new or used (if you bought it from another party new, it may have been updated with new firmware, in which manual programming is limited). |

I have 5 Tekins, all work perfect but I love to troubleshoot them. Most of the time it's something overlooked. Other times it's a quick fix with Hotwire.
